An excellent ser- vice was performed by the No. 2 Life- boat Civil Service No. 1 on the 18-19th January, resulting in four lives being saved. About 7.30 P.M., whilst a whole gale from W.N.W. was raging, signals of distress were seen from a schooner in the Roads. The No. 2 Life-boat was promptly launched, and in the heavy sea proceeded to the vessel, which proved to be the schooner Ann Warren, of Gloucester. Her anchors were dragging, and the first attempt to get alongside failed; the second attempt however was more successful and the Life-boat was made fast. Whilst the crew were being rescued the main boom of the schooner unfortunately swung over and seriously damaged the boat. She remained in the vicinity of the schooner for some time, but at 10.30 P.M. the second cable was carried away, and the vessel was totally wrecked on the Long Nose rock. The Life-boat then returned to harbour..
