The Mayor of Lyme Regis (ROBERT HILLMAN, Esq.) thus refers to this very gallant service:— "I was summoned to the harbour on Wednesday night by a message from* the coxswain of the life-boat, saying a vessel was in great danger at the back of the harbour's mouth, having failed to make it. On reaching the Cobb I found that it was blowing a perfect gale from the S.W., and so dark that no object could be seen a few yards off.

After some difficulty in launching the life-boat, chiefly owing to the intense darkness, and also in procuring a complete crew (for the weather was bad enough to appal any one), the boat went in search of the vessel; and after an absence of about an hour and a half, returned with the crew (3 in number), leaving the vessel in a sinking state, and she subsequently drifted on shore. She proved to be a smack, belonging to this port, laden with culm, and partially disabled by the loss of her boom. The extent of the gale, the heavy sea, and intense darkness, were quite sufficient to deter men from entering the boat; nevertheless the conduct of BRADLEY, the coxswain, and some others of the crew, was most gallant; they would have gone to sea two-thirds manned if we had permitted them, although probably they would have drifted to leeward, and have lost their lives, with the boat, on the rocks, between this and Channouth. I hope, as the present mayor of the borough, and as hon. secretary of this branch of the ROTAL NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION, I may be permitted to express the gratification the people here felt at the boat's good success; for the lives of the smack's crew would most probably have been lost but for the aid of the life-boat.

This is the second time within the last three or four months that our life-boat has done good service." —Reward, the thanks of the Institution to Captain FORSYTE, R.N., and 221.10s. lOd. to pay the expenses of the life-boat.
