At 8 A.M. on : the morning of the 6th October, the j Coastguard reported that a steamer j was ashore under Telscombe Cliffs in i a dangerous position. It was decided j to launch the Life-boat, and she pro- j ceeded to the stranded vessel, which was found on the rocks within six feet I of the cliffs. The Coxswain of the Life- boat asked the Captain if he required assistance, and he' requested the Life- j boat to stand by until high water, when ! an attempt would be made by tugs to j tow the vessel off. The Life-boat j accordingly remained with the vessel, and some hours later the tugs succeeded in towing her off. The Life-boat then returned to Newhaven. The vessel was the steamer Progress, of Hull, bound from Jersey to Newhaven in Ballast..
