NEW BRIGHTON, CHESHIRE.-—During the heavy westerly gale and rough sea on the 27th February, the Coxswain of the steam Life-boat Queen received a message that a vessel had foundered off North Wall and that the crew had taken refuge in the rigging. The crew was promptly summoned and the Queen proceeded to the vessel, which proved to be the Fingal, of Dublin, a large fourmasted barque of over 2,000tons register.

Great difficulty was experienced in getting alongside, but it was eventually accomplished, and the crew of 32 hands were rescued from their perilous position and landed at New Brighton..
