KILDOHAN, ISLE OF ABBAN.—At 6 P.M.
on the 6th October, a vessel was seen flying the signal "I am sinking." The Life-boat Emily Dewar was promptly launched, and found the vessel was the barque Bimac, of Liverpool, bound from Glasgow for Valparaiso with a general cargo, and carrying a crew of 17 men.
She had been in collision with the ship North, and was in a sinking condition.
The Life-boat men went on board, and, with the help of a tug which came up two hours afterwards, the barque was taken into 'Lamlash, where she was beached at about 9.30 P.M., the Life-boat remaining by her until low-water, at the master's request, and returning to her station at 7 o'clock the following morning..
