During a whole N.N.W. gale on the 8th January a vessel was sighted dismasted and apparently at anchor about eight miles off Trevose Head. The crew of the No. 2 Life-boat Edmund Harvey were summoned, and in tow of the Institution's tug she proceeded to the vessel. A very heavy sea was running and on arrival it was found that fourteen of the crew had been rescued by a steamer, whilst a boy had unfortunately perished before the arrival of help. Seven men still remained on board and with considerable difficulty they were rescued and conveyed into safety, Padstow being reached at 5.30 P.M. The vessel was the barque Europa of Bilbao..
