Pax
YOUGHAL, co. CORK.—On the morning of the 16th July, the barque Pax, of Liverpool, outward bound with a general cargo, stranded about half a mile north of Knockadoon Head, having lost some of her sails, while a moderate gale was blowing from S.S.W., accompanied by a rough sea. Information of the casualty having been received by the honorary secretary, the Life-boat Mary Luckombe was very promptly launched at 10.30 A.M., reached the vessel and stood by her for some time.
She was rolling and bumping heavily, but fortunately the ground being of a sandy nature she received no material damage, and an anchor having been laid out she swung to it as the tide rose and eventually got out of danger..
