Information was brought to the Lifeboat Station at 7.30 A.M. on the 18th February that a schooner was ashore close to the new entrance of the North Esk Kiver, about 3\ miles N., in Montrose Bay.

The Life-boatmen were at once summoned; the No. 2 Life-boat, Roman Governor of Goer Sun, was taken out on her transporting carriage, and as horses had not then arrived, the crew and helpers hauled her along so as to avoid delay. The horses overtook them, however, when about half way, were harnessed to the carriage, and the boat arrived abreast of the vessel at about 8.45. She was then launched, reached the stranded schooner, which was found to be the Christine, of Svendborg, bound from St. Petersbnrgh to Aberdeen, with a cargo of crushed bones, and her crew consisting of 5 men were rescued..
