Ada
TYNEMOTJTH.—The keteh Ada, of Harwich, bound from London, and laden with timber, was nearing the Tyne in a very high sea and very stormy weather on the evening of the 25th November, when she was struck by a heavy sea and her rudder carried away. She showed signals of distress, in reply to which the No. 2 Life-boat The Forester was launched at 6.30 and proceeded to the vessel, which had drifted inside the South pier. The master desired to have the assistance of steam-tugs, and the Life-boat therefore went to Shields Harbour and communicated with two steam-tugs, which went out at about midnight and brought the vessel into the Tyne..
