On the 21st De- cember the barque Royal Hose, of Whitby, bound to Leith with a cargo of wheat, having sprung a leak during a north-easterly gale, ran on shore on the Whitby Sands, the smaller life-boat belonging to the Institution was with great difficulty lowered down the cliff, and afterwards succeeded in saving the crew of 12 men. This service was attended with much danger, the tide having come up to the foot of the clifls, against which the boat was seriously injured in landing..
