DOUGLAS, ISLE OF MAN.—A signal of distress having been observed during a S.S.W. gale and a very heavy sea on the 4th January, the Douglas No, 2 Life-boat John Turner Turner was launched at 5 A.M., and found the schooner Daisy, of Chester, bound from Garston for Belfast, coal laden, stranded on the S.W. side of the Conister Hock. With much difficulty the Life-boat succeeded in getting alongside'the vessel, and rescued the crew of four men and a boy, -who were safely landed in the harbour at 6 o'clock. The gale afterwards slightly abated, and the vessel was hauled off the rock, but she sunk in deep water at about 1 P.M..
