The No. 1 Life-boat Sarah Jane Turner was launched at 7.40 P.M. on the 22nd March, in answer to distress signals from a vessel to the north of the entrance to the harbour. The Life-boat reached the vessel at 8.10 P.M., and found that she was the ketch Lady Dorcas, of Montrose, bound from the Tees to Montrose with a cargo of salt. She had stranded, and was full of water, with her cargo washing out. The crew of two men were rescued, and the boat returned to her station, where she arrived at 8.40 P.M. The ketch became a total wreck..
