During a strong S.W. breeze with a heavy sea on the 29th April the schooner Daniel, of Nantes, stranded on the bar at New- haven. The Life-boat Michael Henry was launched at 5.45 P.M. and pro- ceeded to the vessel. The captain stated that he wanted a tug to tow him off, and requested the Life-boat to stand by him in the meantime. Owing to the state of the tide it was not until 8 P.M. that a tug could get close to the vessel, and the Life-boat established communication between the two. Life- boatmen were also put on board to assist the schooner, and eventually the vessel and her crew of four hands were taken into safety..
