During a heavy gale from N.E., on the 16th January, the Bessie, of Hayle, a new screw-collier, worth 10,000/., went a shore on Hayle Bar. She soon became firmly imbedded in the sand, and her crew, consisting of 9 men, had to take to the fore-top. The Moses life-boat and the rocket-apparatus were taken to the spot with- out delay. The sea was running mountains high at the time. It was too distant, how- ever, for the rocket-apparatus to reach the vessel, and the life-boat was unable to get to her from want of power. A telegram was accordingly sent to Penzance for the Richard Lewis life-boat. She was at once despatched, and, on arriving at Hayle, the two life-boats put off to the steamer in the presence of thousands of people who" lined the cliff. After hard pulling, the Moses life-boat was the first to reach the vessel, and picked up 1 of the crew, who had fallen overboard; the other life-boat then came up and took off 5 of the crew, and the St. Ives' life-boat took off the captain and the remaining 2 men; the two life- boats then returned to shore amidst shouts of applause from the people on land. One of the crew of the Penzance life-boat, while alongside the steamer, was struck overboard by her jib, but was quickly rescued by his comrades. A more exciting life-boat ser- vice has rarely been performed. The long struggle of the crews to reach the ship, and their coolness and judgment in the actual rescue, are beyond all praise, as but for them every soul must have perished, as we were informed last month by an eye- witness of the whole affair.
