DECEMBER 6TH. - DONAGHADEE, CO. DOWN. The motor life-boat Civil Service No. 5 put out at 9 in the morning, in a N.W. gale, with a very rough sea, and rescued nine men of the crew of 44 of the S.S. Hope Star, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, which had gone ashore.

She then stood by the steamer for the rest of the day, until the wind went down. The full account of this rescue is with the service to the S.S. Coastville, on November 21st, as the Institution made special awards to the coxswain and crew for these two services combined.
