The Life-boat Hollon the Third was launched at 9.15 A.M. on the 24th February to the assistance of the cobles Marguerite and Isabel and Rita, which were overtaken by rough weather when to the north of the Brig. The E.S.E. wind caused the sea to rise very much and the men on board were placed in considerable dan- ger. The Life-boat proceeded to their aid with all possible haste and supplied each of the men with a life-belt and accompanied both cobles into safety..
