PEEL, ISLE OF MAN.—On the morning of the 13th Dec., 1887, a gale, which had been blowing strongly from the S.E., suddenly shifted to the S.W., and two schooners, the Clyde and the Harbinger, of Belfast, coal laden, which were riding at anchor in the roadstead, hoisted signals of distress. The Life-boat John Monk put off to their assistance at about 9 o'clock, and remained by them for some time, as they were in danger of being driven on the rocks, and several of their sails had been carried away during the previous night.
