The Annie Jane and Dolphin

On the 7th February, at 12.45 P.M., the Life-boat Mary Isabella put off in a strong W.S.W. gale and a rough sea to the assistance of the Annie Jane, of Feel, which, in beating up for the harbour, carried away her foremast, and signalled for help. A steam-trawler reached her before the Life-boat arrived and arranged to tow her into the harbour. The Lifeboat remained by until she was out of danger, and afterwards proceeded to the assistance of the smack Dolphin, of Dublin, which signalled for help. One of her anchors had parted, and her crew of four men, who were thoroughly exhausted, got into the Life-boat and were landed at 3.30..
