LYTHAM, LANCASHIRE, FRIDAY Niortr.
I beg to report (says Mr. J. Edmondson) that
a memeuger from SoUthshore, near Blackpool, arrived at
this lifeboat station of the National Lifeboat Institution
st 10 o'clock this morning, bringing intelligence that a
reel was riding at her anchors on Salthouse.flats, with
1... r masts cut away, and a flag of distress dying.
'The lifeboat Wakefield was at once launched and pro.
t.scied quickly in that direction. On arriving at the
%coal it was found that most of the crew had got into the
1 lackpool lifeboat, which also belongs to the Lifeboat
ciety, and which had already arrived. The captain,
the mute. and the carpenter, however, preferred
be taken on board this lifeboat and were
dely landed here. The Teasel is the Theodorus,
?RAS Liverpool, seven days out, with a general cargo for
tie West Coast of Africa. Her crew consisted of fourteen
I ends all told. This lifeboat, with the assistance of a
I,i:tun-tug, is now at the vessel, and there are good hopes
list she will be towed in here this night's tide. Both
s, sel and cargo are valuable.
