On the 8th February, this valuable life-boat went off again, and rendered the following very gallant service. The sloop Telegraph, of Sunderland, bound to London, with a cargo of bottles, was riding in Yar- mouth Roads, when she parted from her cables by the violence of the wind, and drove upon*the Barber Sands. The crew of 3 men immediately burnt signal lights of distress, which were seen about two o'clock in the morning, and the life-boat was at once launched to the vessel's assist- ance. The night was very dark, and trie sea was very heavy. The life-boat, after some difficulty, succeeded in reaching the stranded vessel, and found that the sea was break- ing over her, and that she was full of water. The men had lowered their small boat, but it was immediately caught by the sea, and carried away; and thus they were left utterly helpless. The life-boat men, after hailing the crew, got near enough to throw them a rope, and then, anchoring the boat, they veered down to the vessel, and the 3 men jumped into her, and were thus rescued from their imminent peril.

While in the vicinity of the sloop in the midst of the darkness, and the south-east swell rolling in, the life-boat shipped a sea, and was driven against the vessel's stern, and was somewhat damaged, as she several times struck on the sand. The rescue was effected in about half an hour from reaching the stranded vessel. The next morning little was to be seen of the wreck but the mast.
