NEW BRIGHTON, CHESHIRE, and FORMBY, LANCASHIRE.—On the night of the 16th March a vessel was observed on " Taylor's Bank," and in response to a telephone message the steam Life-boat Queen was sent to her assistance. She found the s.s. Innisfallen, of Liverpool, inward bound from Cork, had been in collision, and had stranded. Two hoppers which had gone to help the steamer stranded in close proximity to each other. The Formby Life-boat John and Henrietta also arrived upon the scene, and as the weather was very threatening both Life-boats stood by the stranded vessels. Happily the wind decreased, and early next morning tugs were able to tow all three vessels clear.

The Life-boats then returned to their stations..
