The s.s. Trou- ville of Newhaven got broadside on to the bar outside Newhaven Harbour on the 6th March, during a S. by W. gale and very heavy sea, whilst bound from Caen with a cargo. The crew of the motor Life-boat were assembled promptly, and as it was seen that the steamer was drifting ashore, the boat -was launched and proceeded to her. At the request of the Captain a line was taken from the distressed vessel to a tug and the Life-boat then stood by until she was towed off. The weather was exception- ally bad, but both the boat and the motor were reported to have behaved splendidly..
