CAMPBELTOWN, ARGYLLSHIRE. — The brigantine Anna Sarah, of Ipswich, while on her way from Ardrossan to a French port, with a cargo of coal, was overtaken by a gale from the S.S.E., when off the Maidens, on the coast of Ireland, and her sails were carried away. She tried to make for Lamlash, Isle of Arran, but failed to do so, and eventually anchored in Saddell Bay on the 4th October.

Fearing the gale and sea would increase, and that the vessel w*uld, in that case, drive ashore, the master hoisted signals of distress. A telegram was at once despatched from Saddell to Campbeltown summoning the Life-boat, and at 1.30 P.M. the Life-boat James Stevens No. 2 was launched, and, proceeding under sail through a very wild and confused sea in which the boat behaved splendidly, reached the vessel and rescued the crew of six men. Had the direction of the wind changed, nothing could have saved the vessel;but fortunately the gale abated, her anchors held and on the following day she was towed into the harbour by a steam-tug..
