Shortly after 5 A.M. on 24th November a vessel was observed in the bay in dangerous prox- imity to the shore. The crew of the Life-boat Marianne L. Say were sum- moned and the boat launched. The wreck was reached at 6.30 A.M. and proved to be the ketch Queen, of Glou- cester, over which the seas were break- ing, and the vessel was rolling and bumping heavily. As soon as the Life- boat got alongside, the crew of four hands jumped into her. The rescue was successfully carried out, the boat being handled ably by the Coxswain, and although the crew were called from their beds to man her, she was on her way to the wreck fifteen minutes after the men reached the boat-house..
