Antelope

The schooner Antelope of Wexford stranded, during thick but moderate weather on the 6th May, about half a mile east of Bastardstown. Information of the casualty was received from the Coast- guard at 3 A.M., and the crew of the Life-boat and launchers were assembled as quickly as possible. The Life-boat The Sisters was launched and proceeded to the schooner, took off the crew of five hands and landed them at 7 A.M. The vessel at the time of the accident was coasting with a cargo and was ultimately bound for Runcorn..
