PORT LOGAN.—A message by telephone was received from the coastguard at Drummore on the 25th January, reporting that a vessel was flying a signal of distress. The wind was blowing a moderate to a strong gale, the sea was heavy, and the weather very cold, with snow showers. At 12.30 P.M. the Lifeboat Frederick Allen was launched in Scratby Bay, three-and-a-half miles from Drummore, and reached the vessel, which proved to be the brigantine Prospect, of Belfast, coal laden, from Maryport for Portaferry. As she was dragging her anchors, her crew of four men were taken into the Life-boat and landed at 6 P.M. at Drummore, where the boat was left for the night, it being impossible then to return her to her station, the roads being blocked with snow. On the following day the crew and helpers went back for her, and with great difficulty succeeded in getting her home..
