GIRVAN, SCOTLAND.—A dismasted vessel was seen off Benacres Head fast drifting towards the shore during stormy weather on the 28th October. The Sir Home Poph,am Life-boat was launched at 5.30 P.M., and found the vessel brought up at anchor in close proximity to the shore at Ardmillan Point, three miles S. of Girvan.

Her crew of eight men were taken into the Life-boat, and safely lauded at Girvan at 10.30. The vessel was the brig Sisters, of Belfast, bound from Troon to Galveston, South America, with coal and iron; she held to her anchor all night, and on the following day was towed to Ayr by a steam tug..
