Broughty Castle

PENMON.—On the 3rd July the schooner Broughty Castle, of Bamsey, Jaden with salt, stranded on the Causeway Bock in a strong N.W. breeze. The Life-boat Christopher Brown went to her assistance and attempted to heave her off, but the hawser parted, and the Life-boat returned ashore with the vessel's crew of three men. At the next tide the boat again went off, laid out an anchor, and by means of the boat's ropes succeeded in getting the vessel off the rock and took her to Eeaumaris..
