'-On the 8th of April the brigantine Cebufg, of Whitby , ran ashore in an E.S.E. gale near Bridlington Quay.

The Bridlington life-boat belonging to the NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION was immediately launched, and proceeded to the aid of her crew. After getting alongside the wreck) a heavy sea struck the boat, and breaking the lines fey which she was attached to it, seat her adrift again.

A second attempt was more successful, when she took off the crew, 5 in number, and landed them to safety. The vessel shortly after became a complete wreck ARKLOW, IRELAND. — On the 2nd September, at three p.m., a vessel was observed aground on the Arklow bank, 8 or "9 miles distant from Arklow. The life-boat of that place proceeded at once to her aid, when *he found a heavy sea breaking over and around her. Several fishing-smacks were near the wreck, but usable to approach near enough to be ©f any service to those on board her. The coxswain immediately anchored the life-boat, and veered sufficiently near to throw a line on board the ship, when 11 of her crew were safely hauled into the boat by means of a line and the boat's lifebuoy.

4 of bet crew had previously attempted to get to a fishing-Smack in the vessel's own boats: one boat with 2 men in her succeeded in doing so, but the other upset intermediately on leaving the ship, and the 2 men in her contrived to hold fast to her bottom until they were carried by the tide beyond the surf, when they were picked tip and their lives saved by the smack Catherine, DENNIS BYRNE, Master/ The crew were conveyed safely to Arklow in the life-boat, arriving at that place at 9-45 p.m. The vessel, proved to be the American barque, Harriet Francis, bound from Liverpool to Baltimore, U.S. This lifeboat, which was only stationed by the Institu- tion at Arklow last year, is on Mr. PEAKE'S design, and is reported to have afforded on this occasion another striking proof of the valuable characteristics of this class of boat.

It having been predicted by the practical men at Arklow that she never would be able to regain Arklow from the wreck, but would be compelled to land the wrecked men at Wicklow, a more leeward position.

She however completely falsified those predictions, and her behaviour altogether afforded the utmost satisfaction to her crew.
