At 4 a.m., on the 19th October, the Greek brig Mari- etta, from Lisbon, for Cardiff, in ballast, ran ashore on some rocks in Tramore Bay.

One of the crew, at great peril to himself, plunged into the surf with a line, and landing on one of the rocks, succeeded in climbing to its top', although, it was a steep precipice.

By means of the line he then hauled a stout rope up, and making it fast to a rock, the whole of the crew, 10 in number, were ena- bled to climb along it in safety before their vessel broke up, where they were discovered in the morning by the country people. With much difficulty a line was at last conveyed to them, chiefly through the instrumentality of a brave young fellow named MICHAEL KERWAN, who descended the cliff by a line, which was then made fast to another thrown by the wrecked crew. By this line 9 of the 10 Greeks were safely drawn ta the shore; but it was found impossible to rescue the remaining one, he having injured his arm, and being thus disabled from hauling himself along the rope. There were boats in the neighbourhood, but they could not be taken near the rock on account of the surf. The Tramore life-boat was therefore ordered to be launched, and after rowing three miles, arrived at the spot and took the unfortunate man off the rock, landing him in safety.
