On the night of the 16th February, the Greek brig San Spiridione, of Galaxide, coal laden, was driven ashore in Tramore Bay, in a south gale. As she made no signals of distress, her dangerous position ^was not seen from the shore until daylight on the 17th, when the Tramore life-boat was manned and launched through a very high surf; the efforts of her crew were, however, unavail- ing, and they becoming exhausted, she was brought back to the shore. She was then replaced on her carriage and drawn to a more favourable position for launching, and was again manned by another volunteer crew, and this time succeeded in getting close to the wreck; but the foreigners would not throw themselves into the water to be picked up by the crew of the life-boat, the latter not being able to get near enough for them to jump into the boat. Whilst remaining by the wreck, a heavy surf broke over the boat and upset her, throwing her crew into the water; but being supported by their cork life-belts, three of them regained and got into the boat; the rest, five in number, made for the shore, which all reached in safety. After a while the vessel began to break up, and the crew were precipitated into the surf, clinging to the spars and fragments of the hull, &c. The life-boat was then a third time launched, and succeeded in saving two of the unfortunate crew; two others were saved by persons wading into the surf to their rescue as they neared the shore. One gentleman, JAMES BUDD, Esq., Honorary Secretary to the Tra- more Branch of the Institution, rode into the surf on his horse, and succeeded in saving one of the wrecked crew by throwing a cork life-belt to him in the water, but he was twice washed off his horse whilst mak- ing these humane efforts. The coxswain of the life-boat had charge of her on each occa- sion of her launching, and did his utmost to insure success. Fortunately, such cases of partial failure are the exception to the ge- neral rule, but it must be expected, in such hazardous and difficult undertakings, that failure should sometimes occur..
