MARCH 15TH. - MONTROSE, ANGUS.

During the morning the S.S. Tordensk Jold, of Bergen, was seen to be in difficulties, and to anchor in a dangerous position, two miles north of Scurdyness. At noon the No. 1 motor life-boat The Good Hope was launched in a fresh east-south-east breeze, with a ground swell, and found that the steamer was bound from Teignmouth to Norway, and that her engine had broken down. The life-boat brought her master ashore, took out mechanics to repair the engine, made, in the course of the day, several trips between the ship and the shore and stood by all night. Next morning the Tordensk Jold came into Montrose under her own steam, and the life-boat returned to her station at 1.45 that afternoon. A donation was made to the Institution, out of which it made a gift to the life-boat crew and helpers in addition to their rewards. - Rewards, £31 14s. 6d..
