During a whole N.W. gale and heavy sea on the 20th February, the schooner J. T. S., of Barrow, got into difficulties whilst at anchor in the Roads, and at 4 P.M.

made signals of distress. The Life-boat Star of Hope was promptly launched, and wras quickly alongside. Owing to the very heavy sea some difficulty was experienced in rescuing the five hands on board, but they were eventu- ally transferred safely to the Life-boat, which then returned ashore. The dog belonging to the vessel was also saved..
