On the loth March, during the afternoon, a message was received that a ketch was apparently running for Montrose, and asking that the Life-boat might be on the look-out for her. An hour later she appeared, and it was seen that she in- tended to attempt to come in. As there was a very heavy sea running and a S.E. gale raging, the Life-boat Sarah Jane Turner was launched to attend the ketch, which proved to be the C.E.O.G.

of Jersey, bound from London to Mont- rose. The ketch fortunately succeeded in getting over the bar without mishap, although she was struck by several very heavy seas and was all but driven on to the Annat Bank..
