Rambler

TYBELLA, Co. DOWN. — On the 9th August, during a gale from the S.E., and very thick weather with heavy rain, the schooner Rambler, of Newry, bound from Carlingford to Liverpool, with a cargo of paving stones, was driven ashore at Ringsalien in a thoroughly helpless condition, having lost her sails. The Life-boat Memorial was launched at 10 A.M. Great difficulty was experienced in getting her afloat, owing to the fury of the wind and sea. The crew, however, succeeded at last, after which they went alongside the vessel and rescued her crew, consisting of the master and three men. In attempting to board the Life-boat, the master dropped into the sea, but was promptly rescued by the Life-boatmen..
