ST. MARY'S SCILLY ISLANDS.—The coastguard men at St. Agnes having signalled for the Life-boat, the Henry Dundas put off at 6.50 P.M. on the 3rd of May in a very heavy sea and thick weather and proceeded to the Western Bocks, where the brigantine Antres, of and from Nantes, for Llanelly, with a cargo of pit props, and carrying a crew of six men, was found lying at anchor in a dangerous position between two rocky ledges and only a hundred yards distant from one of them, the Retarriers. A gig had put off from St. Agnes, but the crew found the sea too heavy to allow them to approach the vessel and therefore returned to the shore. Another gig afterwards got near enough to hail the ship, but also found the sea too heavy for her to remain.

The Life-boat went alongside the Antres, and a pilot and three other Life-boat men boarded her and assisted the crew to get the anchor up. The Life-boat went ahead to tow her, and she was got out of danger and taken nearly three miles clear of the Bishop rock..
