At daybreak on the 21st April, the pilots on the look - out discovered a schooner stranded on the beach about two miles N. of Montrose. The crew of the No. 1 Life-boat Mincing Lane mustered as quickly as possible, launched the Lifeboat, pulled over the bar, on which a heavy sea was breaking, and sighted a small boat about a mile N. The Lifeboat made for her and rescued six men who were on board. They proved to be the crew of, the Mary, of Haugesund, Norway, bound from that port for Leith, in ballast. She had parted her anchor and gone ashore. The men had been five hours in their boat, and it is very doubtful whether they could ever have reached land in her, as she was only a small skiff with very little free-board..
