In boisterous weather on the 18th February it was reported that a large steamer was close in shore, and was in imminent danger of stranding. Without delay the Life-boat Jones-Gibb was launched, and proceeded to the vessel. She proved to be the s.s. Newbridge, of London, bound from Manchester to Barry in ballast, and she had got out of her course in the fog. The Life-boat, for- tunately, reached the steamer before she stranded, and the crew were able to give such information to the master that he was able to extricate his vessel from her dangerous position. There is little doubt that but for the prompt- ness of the Life-boatmen the vessel would have met with disaster..
