NEW BRIGHTON.—At 2.30 P.M., on the 19th July, intelligence having been received that a vessel was showing signals of distress, the No. 2 Life-boat Henry Richardson put off, in tow of the steam-tugBrilliant Star, and found the three-masted schooner Renown ashore at Formby Hole.

The wind was then blowing a heavy gale from the W.N.W., and there was a heavy sea. A tug was taking the vessel in tow when the Life-boat arrived; three of the Life-boat men went on board the schooner to help to get up her anchor and she was then towed to Liverpool, the Life-boat returning to her station, there being no further occasion for her services..
