CASTLETOWN, ISLE OF MAN.—At about one o'clock on the afternoon of Sunday, 1st October, 1882, the brigantine Eugenie Auguste, of Castletown, bound for that port from Euncorn with a cargo of coal, was observed to be labouring heavily and dragging her anchors in Derby Haven Bay, during a heavy gale of wind from the S.W. She was carefully watched from Castletown, in case she should require any assistance, and after a short timewas seen to hoist a flag of distress. The Life-boat was at once taken on her transporting carriage to Derby Haven Bay, where she was launched, and proceeded to the vessel. It was found that the crew, consisting of five men, were desirous to be extricated from their perilous situation, and accordingly they were brought ashore in the Life-boat. Before leaving the vessel the master, on, the recommendation of the coxswain of the Life-boat, ran out morechain, and secured it round the mast.

Happily the vessel rode out the gale, and the crew having been placed on board again, she was brought safely into harbour..
