WEXFORD.— The yawl Gannet, of Wexford, showed signals of distress, having grounded close to the stones of the north embankment in a strong gale from W. to W.N.W., with heavy squalls and a moderate sea, on the 3rd February.

At 1.45 P.M. the Life-boat Andrew Pickard proceeded to her assistance and succeeded in getting her into deep water, when she hoisted sail and made for Wexford. It was then found that a tug which had grounded in trying to get close to the fishing-boat was lying across the Lifeboat's cable. With some difficulty, however, it was got clear, and the Boat regained her station at 6 P.M..
