On the 30th October the foreign barque Providence, of Dantzic, ran ashore at West Port, in Machrihannish Bay, Cantyre. The Campbeltown life-boat was brought to the spot from Campbeltown, a distance of 6 miles. Eight of the wrecked crew had been got to the shore by means of ropes; but the tide rising, the sea got tip so high that no more could be saved in that manner; the life-boat was accordingly launched, and suc- ceeded in taking off the remainder of the crew, 7 in all. The wind was blowing a gale from the west at the time.
