gale was blowing, with a very heavy sea and snow squalls. The motor life-boat Elizabeth and Albina Whitley was launched at 1.15 P.M. and made an extensive search, but found nothing but the bodies of three sailors. They were brought ashore by the life-boat, which returned to her station at 4 P.M.- Rewards, £28 15s.
