At 6.20 in the morning of the 15th November signals of distress were seen from a schooner riding in Ramsey Bay. The Life-boat Mary Isabella was launched in the teeth of a S.E. gale and a terrible sea and proceeded to the vessel, which proved to be the schooner Coniston, of Duddon, loaded with coal and bound from Greenock to Duddon. The four men on board were rescued and brought into safety. This service is reported to have been one of the most severe experienced in the locality for many years past, and the manner in which the Life-boat was hapdled was spoken of in the highest terms..
