On Feb- ruary 6th the s.s. Mango, of Newry, ran ashore on the rocks off Aranmore, during a thick fog. A strong S.W.

breeze was blowing, a heavy sea was running, and it was raining. The motor life-boat William and Laura put off at 6.40 A.M., but found that the steamer was right up among the rocks.

It was impossible for the life-boat to get alongside, but the steamer's crew of nine could get ashore without difficulty, over the bows. The life-boat stood by until all the men were safely ashore, and then returned to her station, arriving there at 10.15 A.M.—Rewards, £12 185. 3d..
