The schooner Helen Macgregor, of Dublin, whilst bound from Scotland to Arklow, was lying at anchor off Cahore Point, on the 20th August. Towards evening the •wind increased to a fresh gale with a very rough and heavy sea, and at 8.30 P.M., in answer to distress signals from the schooner, the Life-boat Willie and Arthur was launched. On reaching the vessel it was found that both anchors were dragging; the Life-boat therefore rescued the crew of four hands, landing them in safety about 10 P.M. In per- forming the service, the Life-boat was damaged through being dashed against the schooner..
