At daybreak on the 2nd No- vember, the smack Bruce, of Milford, was compelled to anchor in a dismasted state about three miles east of Tenby; the wind was blowing a furious gale from W.S.W. at times, and the sea was very high. The Tenby life-boat proceeded at once to her assistance, Lieut, the Hon. H. F. BOYLE, R.N., Chief Officer of Coastguard and Ho- norary Secretary to this Institution, going in her. The crew of 3 men were taken off in an exhausted state by the life-boat, and safely landed at the small harbour of Saun- dershott, four miles distant.

On the 7th November the services of the Tenby life-boat were again called into requi- sition. A large brig, at 9 P.M., was ob- served to go ashore in Tenby Bay; the life-boat, manned with the usual mixed crew of Coastguard-men and fishermen, in charge of her experienced coxswain, ROBERT PAR- ROTT, at once proceeded to her through a tremendous sea, the wind also blowing a gale from the S.W. The vessel being on shore on a rocky reef could only be approached from to windward. The life-boat's anchor was accordingly let go, with the intention of being veered down to the wreck, but a heavy roller striking the boat, carried away the cable and broke three of her oars.

Finding it then impossible to close with the vessel, in consequence of her peculiar posi- tion, and the great sea breaking over her, the life-boat returned to Tenby, and Lieut. BOYLE and his crew proceeded to the spot with all haste by land with the rocket apparatus, and after three hours' persevering efforts succeeded in conveying the crew safely to land. The whole service with the life-boat and rocket apparatus occupied seven hours, and reflected much credit on Lieut. BOYLE, on ROBERT PARROTT, chief boatman of Coastguard and coxswain of the life-boat, and on all the others engaged with them. Although the life-boat was not the means of saving the vessel's crew in this instance, yet, the whole service being of a very gallant character, and the lives being after all saved by the same party who manned the life-boat, although with other means, we have deemed it deserving of being recorded. The silver medal of the Institution was voted to Lieut. BOYLE, R.N., and the second-service clasp added to the medal received on a former occasion by ROBERT PARROTT, the coxswain of the life- boat, he having several times previously distinguished himself by his gallant conduct in charge of the Institution's life-boat at Tenby.

In addition to the above services, the crews of other vessels have been since saved by life-boats belonging to the NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION, but the particulars of which were not received in time for pub- lication in this Number.

On numerous other occasions during the recent storms the life-boats of the NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION have pro- ceeded to the assistance of vessels in dis- tress, and they have thus in several instances been indirectly the means of saving the lives of their crews, by helping or directing them out of danger, although their crews have not been taken off them.
