FORMBY.—On the morning of the 22nd February the coxswain of the Life-boat received a message by cable stating that a vessel was aground on the Great Burbo Bank. The crew of the Life-boat John and Henrietta were at once summoned, and at 9.25 the boat was launched. A strong breeze was blowing from the N.N.E., the sea was rough, and the weather very cold. On reaching the vessel, which proved to be the sloop Beehive, bound from Castletown for Liverpool, laden with turnips, it was found that she had drifted off the sand, bnt was leaking badly. The Life-boat accompanied her about four miles, when the master stating that he required no farther assistance, she therefore returned to her station, arriving at 2 P.M..
