The barque Leonar, of Hamburg, bound from that port to the Tyne with salt, went ashore on the Spittal Point Rocks, south of Newbiggin, at about 1 A.M. on the 22nd February, during thick weather and a rough sea. In reply to her signals of distress the Newbiggin Life-boat went to her assistance, got out a kedge anchor, and remained by the ship ten hours, until the tide rose, when, with the help of two steam-tugs, she was got afloat..
