On the night of the 20th January the s.s. City of Lahore, belonging to Liverpool, stranded on Kearney Point. The Life-boat John was launched and proceeded to the steamer. The captain requested the boat to stand by, which she did. While the boat was in attendance, a shore boat, which had also put off to the steamer's assistance, left about midnight to return home. Shortly afterwards shouts for help were heard, and it was found that the boat had run on the rocks and had been stove in. The Life-boat at once proceeded to the assistance of the men, but on account of the rocks had considerable difficulty in rescuing them. A line was thrown from the Life-boat to the imperilled men, and they were hauled, one by one, through the sea into the boat, the Life-boat being slightly damaged on the rocks..
