lifeboat Services

NEwBIGGiNG, NoRTHumBERT
JANA Thursday Nigh!' of
----v-
I have to report another noble service of the lifeboe'
the Royal National Lifeboat Institution here this mom's
(says the Rev. E. N. Mangin). The Newbigging
ea
boats went out as usual this morning, but were overte,-0,
by a tremendous gale from the S.E.—the greatest suPei.o
was manifested for the safety of the boats, as they Cain at,
before the heavy sea running in the bay. The life'„r-
therefore, lay off in a fearful sea for about three 114).--,p
ready to render assistance. The last boat was glvell.d
as lost, but the lifeboat ran alongside, took the men out
the boat in tow. A tremendous sea threw the coble the
the lifeboat, to the imminent peril of the crew; lifer
coble was immediately swamped, and had not the the
boat taken the men out nothing could have avedA s
coble's crow. The lifeboat was slightly ixdure'
piece of the gunwale being broken away.
BRIGHTON, Thursday Igiffb,,t"
At half-past two o'clock this day (reports Dr.
mour), a vessel making apparently for Shoreham 'so
observed to be in danger of running aground. It
blowing hard from S.W., and there was a heavy sea 11.100
ning. The Brighton lifeboat of the National Institatillo
was immediately got out, and, notwithstanding that I;
horse could bo procured, the boat and carriage were,lrlit,
down to Fishersgate between here and three miles diet e,
Very speedily on arriving wo found the barque
of Poole, of about 500 tons, riding at anchor about h
a mile from shore. She had been in imminent danger, 1140
was anchored in unsafe ground, and liable to part her ce:st
at any moment. Under these circumstances the lifebbii
wont off to her assistance. The launch was admire ot
effected by the crew, notwithstanding the heavy 08' se(l
was running. On arriving alongside the captain eirrieviaos
his intention to beach the vessel, having no coufia-Do
in his anchor holding. The coxswain of too,
suggesting t strongly dissuaded him from doing ht
that he should take advantage of a o
change in the wind and make for the open sea, at the
time the lifeboat should stay by the vessel till slu) we-
cleared the worst. Sail was accordingly made on the a
top
eel, which shortly afterwards got to sea. I can't sPe3' 00
highly of the judgment and conduct of the cossWe'''
the occasion and the way the boat behaved.
SENNEN COVE (Land's End), Thursday 17„tioa
The Sennen Cove lifeboat of the National Insti7 al
(writes Capt. Fellowes, R.N.) went out, in reply to a 1319
of distress from the Longship's Lighthouse, some nt to
since, as there was too much sea on for any other b°-8,.0
attempt going out. On arriving at the lighthouse it,
found that one of the keepers had been taken serionOrol
and wanted to be landed for medical assistance. Ile
accordingly brought ashore in the lifeboat.
