DOWN.—A tele- phone message was received from Cloughey at 7.30 A.M. on the 28th July, stating that the Life-boat was required to stand by a stranded steamer, as the Cloughey Life-boat was not available.

The crew were promptly assembled and the new motor Life-boat William and Laura despatched. They fpund the s.s. Agamemnon, of Liverpool, bound for Glasgow, was ashore inside the South Rock Light-house. The captain stated that he had already landed most of his crew of Chinamen. The Life-boat stood by the steamer for a time, but the officers decided to remain on board; the Life-boat therefore returned to Dona- ghadee, arriving at 2.45 P.M..
