WEXFORD.—At about 6 o'clock on the morning of the 18th October, 1889, the Life-boat Ethel Eveleen was launched, intelligence having been received that a vessel was aground on the Dogger Bank.

A strong gale was blowing from the S., and there was a heavy sea running at the time. The boat proceeded under sail to the stranded vessel, which was the schooner Star of Hope, of and for Wexford from Liverpool, with a cargo of coal, and which was found to have stranded on the south side of Wexford Bar. Some difficulty was experienced in getting alongside, but eventually this was accomplished. The Life-boatmen then rendered assistance in getting the vessel afloat, and, with the help of a steam tug, she was taken safely into Wexford Harbour, with her crew of five men..
