During a dense fog on the 10th February, with a moderate S.S.W. breeze and a moderate sea, a large four-masted steamer—the Coronel, of Kragero—ran on to the Longnose Rock.; The crew of the No. 2 Life-boat, Civil Service No. 1, were called, and with all despatch the Life-boat pro- ceeded to the steamer. The Life-boatmen boarded her, and the captain at once engaged them to save his vessel if possible. As the tide was on the steamer's broadside, anchors were run out to prevent her going further on to the rocks, and in the evening, when the tide made, the Life-boat men, with the assistance of a tug, succeeded in re- floating the steamer, which proceeded on her voyage to Barry Dock..
