MONTROSE.—The fishing-boat Useful, of Kirkcaldy, while going out of the harbour on the afternoon of the 27th July in a moderate 8.E. wind and a rough sea, went ashore on the Annat Bank. The seas were breaking heavily on the sand and the vessel's crew were evidently in considerable danger. The Montrose No.

Life-boat Bessie Webster immediately put off and at 3.15 was on her way to the help of the fishermen. When the Life-boat reached her the seas were washing completely over the fishing-boat, rendering it a difficult task to take the crew out of her, but ultimately this was accomplished, and the six men were landed safely at 4 o'clock..
