PORT LOGAN, N.B.—At 9.30 A.M. on the 31st January, during a strong S.E. gale, the galliot Gateforth, of Whithorn, bound from Ayr to Whithorn with coal, was atanchor in the bay, and showed a signal for assistance. An open boat, with the coxswain of the Life-boat and three other men, •went off to her and got her under way.

She, however, missed stays, and went close to the rocks on the north of the harbour.

Her anchor was then let go, and as she was in a very dangerous position the Lifeboat Edinburgh and B, M. Ballantyne was launched, under the charge of her second coxswain, proceeded to the vessel, and remained by her until she was taken to a place of safety..
