PENZANCE.—Soon after daylight on the 5th September it was reported that a vessel was at anchor in the bay with a signal of distress flying. A strong gale was blowing from S.E. to S.S.E. The Life-boat Eichard Lewis proceeded to her assistance, and on reaching her found her to be the barquentine Neilly, of Bridgwater, bound from Lydney with 333 tons of coal for Porthleven, and having a crew of six men on board. She was riding very heavily with both anchors down andchains veered out to their full extent, and it was feared that she would part her chains and drive ashore, being quite to Jeeward. The Life-boatmen's services were at once engaged to get her into harbour ; while making the necessary preparations one chain cable parted and sail was then at once got on the vessel, the second anchor and chain were slipped, and she was taken safely in, arriving off the pier at about 10 30 A.M..
