Equestrian
BUCKIE, N.B.—On the morning of the 15th October, while the wind was blowing very hard from the N.N.E., a telegramwas received from the chief officer of Coastguard at Port Gordon, about two miles to the westward of this place, stating that a vessel, flying signals of distress, was drifting ashore there. The Buckie Life-boat James Sturm was at once despatched to the spot by land, and on arriving there was successfully launched through a heavy surf and head wind, and was instrumental in saving the crew of four men from the vessel, which proved to be the schooner Equestrian, of Banff, bound from Dingwall to Leven. She had shipped a sea off Lossiemouth, her ballast had shifted, her sails had been blown away, and she was on her beam ends..
