Blackmail
FLEETWOOD, LANCASHIRE.—-It was reported that a vessel was ashore and showing signals of distress, on the north side of Lune at midnight on the 28th October, during a strong N.W. breeze. 'The Child of Hale Life-boat promptly went to her assistance in tow of a steam tug, put a pilot on board her, and at the master's request rode alongside the barque,—-which was the Blackmail, of London, bound from St. John's, Newfoundland, for Fleetwood, with a cargo of timber—until the tide had risen sufficiently to float the vessel, and to allow the tug to get alongside and take her in tow to Fleetwood, where she arrived at about 6 o'clock in the morning..
