At 6.45 on the 4th December it was reported that a small schooner, the Sarah and Mary, had struck the Bar and gone j ashore in Seaford Bay. The Life-boat i Michael Henry was launched and pro- ceeded to the vessel. At the request of the captain she stood by until a tug also came to his assistance. The services of the men were then engaged and communication was effected between the schooner and the tug. The vessel was eventually got in safety into New- haven harbour..
