ST. ANDREW'S.—At about 9 o'clock on the morning of the 2nd February, the schooner Eosebud, of Goole, was seen from St. Andrew's, but the weather becoming thick she was lost sight of. She 'was next observed at about 11 o'clock, when she seemed to be heading for the Eden mouth. The Life-boat Ladies' Own was despatched to her assistance, but before she could reach her the schooner had gone ashore on the North Bank of the Eden, and her crew, consisting of four men, were compelled to take to the rigging from which they were rescued by the Lifeboat.

The vessel, which was bound from Sunderland to Montrose with a cargo of coal, became a total wreck..
