On the 20th March, at about 5.30 A.M., the No. 2 Life-boat Roman Governor of Oaer Hun, was launched to the assistance of the brig Eleonore, of Tonsberg, Norway, which was showing signals of distress.

She went ashore about a mile and a half N. of the Life-boat house. On reaching her it was found that she was waterlogged and had been unable to clear the land. Her crew, consisting of seven men, were taken into the Life-boat and brought ashore in safety. The brig subsequently became a total wreck..
