Nyanza

ST. AGNES, ISLES OF SCILLY.—Signals having been fired by the Bishop Bock Lighthouse, on the 26th May, the Lifeboat James and Caroline was launched at 12.15 p.m., and found the lugger Nyanza, of Penzance, engaged in the mackerel fishery, at Crebawethan, where she had been run ashore, having been damaged by striking on rocks. One of her crew was taken off by an island fishing-boat, and the remainder, four in number, were landed by the Life-boat at St. Mary's.

The Life-boat also saved some of the gear of the vessel which was expected to become a total wreck..
