On the morning of the 15th February, during a mode- rate northerly breeze, with a heavy ground sea, a steamer was reported ashore about one mile N.W. of Donna Nook, flying signals of distress. The Life-boat was launched, and when she reached the position indicated, found the steamer C. T. 8 ashore. At the request of the captajn the Life-boat conveyed a wire hawser to a tug which was standing by. Efforts were made to tow the vessel afloat, but they proved unsuccessful, and, as the services of the Life-boat were no longer required, she returned to her station..
