The schooner Proba, of Dartmouth, whilst bound to Dublin with a cargo of malt, stranded on the 21st January not far from the Life-boat house, and in re- sponse to the signal which she made shortly before stranding, the Life-boat Oldham proceeded to her assistance.

She went alongside, took the Master and his wife on board and landed them at Penrhyn-du. The wind was blowing freshly from the N.E. at the time of the accident and the sea was rough and choppy with heavy breakers on the shore, but hopes were entertained of saving the schooner when the weather moderated.
