KILMORE, Co. WEXFORD.—The Lifeboat John Robert was teunched at 12.30 P.M. on the 7ih April, the coxswain having observed from his house a barque apparently ashore on Crosafarnogue Point.

The vessel, which had grounded in thick weather, a moderate W.S.W. breeze and a smooth sea, was the Haweswater, of and for Liverpool, in ballast, from Port Natal.

At the request of the master the Lifeboat remained by her until about an hour after high water and then returned ashore, and eventually the ship's crew abandoned her and landed, as there was a probability of her becoming a total wreck..
