WORKINGTON, CUMBERLAND. In the evening of the 17th May, a strong W.

wind, which had been blowing all day, suddenly developed into a heavy gale, and at 8.45 signals were shown by a small schooner, the General Cathcart, of Greenock, bound from Ballywalter for Workington in ballast, which was anchored two miles N. of the harbour. The Lifeboat Dodo, which had been recently placed on the station, was quickly manned; was towed out by the steam-tug Grace, reached the schooner, and after four attempts succeeded in taking off her crew, numbering four men, and brought them safely ashore.

On the following day the Life-boat, at the request of the master, again proceeded to the vessel, with her crew, and assisted to bring her into the harbour..
