Secretary of that Branch of the Institution :— " On Sunday last (the 1 st Dec.), the weather being very stormy, I, with six others, and two horses, at twelve o'clock at night, walked the coast for upwards of four miles in the direction of Grainthorpe Haven, when wediscoveredaschooneron the sands, which the crew (consisting of three men)were about to leave. Her name was the Mary Ant, of Whitby, in ballast. The men being strangers, and much latigued, we took them back to Donna Nook on the horses, where I put them to bed, and at 2-30, the same night we again left the Nook and went back to the schooner and moored her, and while there discovered another schooner throwing up signals of distress and burning tar-barrels between Mr. PYE'S house and the station, when we immediately returned —it being then abont five o'clock a.m., sent messengers for the crew and the launching men, and at daylight, aboUt seven a.m., hoisted my flag to expedite the crew, which signal was also seen by the crew of the schooner. We got the boat off about eight a.m., but the heavy gale holding up the tide, the horses had to go a mile and a quarter belly deep before reaching the outer bank of sand so as to get to the windward of the schooner, but the tide running so rapidly, backed up by the wind, the launching men, being up to their arm pits iii water, could not stand to pull the boat off the truck, and were obliged to get into the boat, when we shoved her off the truck and over the bank with our oars, and with great difficulty we reached the schooner, which proved to be the Esk, of Montrose, in ballast. After making fast the boat by anchor and ropes, we succeeded in getting six hands aboard the boat, and brought them back as far as the above bank, where she grounded, and all hands (except the crew of the schooner) got out, and, up to their middle in water, dragged the boat as far as they could; but not being able to get clear, all got out except myself, and waded up to their middle—occasionally being submerged by the lift of the waves—upwards of a mile to the station-house, which they reached about 12-30, but all were so frozen and starved that it was necessary to send for a medical man, who restored most of them before he left, one Coasfguardsman being still under treatment, though better this morning. I remained with my boat and truck to secure them from loss or damage, and did not get up till late at night, when I found that none of the farmers would let their horses go out again, they being so starved as to peril their lives. I then waded back to my boat with another Coostguardsman, when we discovered a third schooner at six a.m., with signals of distress flying nearly eight miles away.

When I got back to the station again, I sent for the crew and launchmen, but none of the neighbouring farmers would allow their horses to go out again—indeed, they could scarcely keep them alive from their first exposure to the cold, so that I was obliged to abandon the effort to get to the vessel; and it wag not till the evening of the day that I could get any horses to bring back the boat to the station. The gale having then considerably mi'derated, we got her up without sustaining any injury. I never experienced a more trying time for men and horses. I never had my clothes off from the Saturday night to Tuesday night, or any rest, being soaked through all Monday and Tuesday.

The crew of the third schooner referred to were saved by HOODLESS riding into the water and •bringing them off. It should be added, that many parts of the Lincolnshire coast are very flat, and often shallower at some distance from the land.

(Signed) THOMAS DOBSON, coxswain of the lifeboat." , We feel constrained to add another account of the noble services rendered, during Sunday night, the 1st December, and the following day, by the life-boat Princess of Wales, stationed at Holyhead, in rescuing altogether, including a mother and her infant, 53 persons from different wrecks.

HOLYHEAD, Dec. 2.—We have been visited with a most terrific gale from the north here, and but for the indefatigable and courageous conduct of the crew of the life-boat Princess of Wales, belonging to the NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION, we should have been in much distress. We have had four wrecks. The first was the barque Bayadere, of Rouen. She parted and came on the rocks near the lighthouse. The life-boat was launched at 9 P.M. in the.face of all difficulties, heavy sea and lee shore, and brought all on board the vessel safely to land, 12 in number. The lifeboat then went out three separate times to the ship Lydia Williams, of Liverpool, that had sunk near Salt Island, and brought 34 persons on shore. The crew of the ship were in -the rigging, and among •them a lady passenger, with an infant 7 months old. After two trips two men were left in the forerigging, so they again had to return. At 5 A.M. she was again manned and sent to act near the break' water to save the crew of the schooner Seetiand, oi Chester. The men were, however, saved by means from the breakwater. On this occasion the boat beat off in the most wonderful style to the breakwater, tBrough some terrific squalls of snow and hail; and 1 confess I like this boat, although I had always previously thought her too heavy to pull in a gale of wind. Her sailing powers are very great. The last time the life-boat went off in reply to a signal of distress, she brought ashore 7 persons from the schooner JBlifabeth, of Liverpool, making 53 in all saved—a good 24 hours' work. Nothing that I can express can be too strong for my admiration of the men, for a worse night I never saw; it was just such a night as that of the Royal Charter gale. Six separate times the boat was manned, and did good service with her veteran coxswain, ROWLAND, over seventy years old. I think all parties freely acknowledge the service performed, and the French captain and his agent are particularly grateful, and have so expressed themselves. (Signed) CHARLES F. SCHOMBERG, Rear-admiral." In addition to the services already referred to, the crews of the life-boats at the following places also either assembled or went oft' during the same gales with the view of rendering assistance; but in some cases their services were not required; in others, the crews of the vessels had unhappily perished before the arrival of the boats, or the vessels had got out of danger. The boats were— the Albert Victor, at Berwick-on-Tweed; the Grace Darling, at Holy Island; the Joseph Anstice, at North Sunderland, Northumberland.

The Arthur Frederick FitzRoy at Rye; and the Storm Sprite at Winchelsea, Sussex. The Oxfordshire at Looe; theDanietJ. Draper at Mullion ; and the Isis at Hayle, Cornwall. The Sir Edward Perrott at Fishguard, Pembrokeshire. The Forester at Newquay, Cardiganshire. The Cotton Sheppard at Porthdiullaen; and the Sisters' Memorial at Orme's Head, Carnarvonshire.

The General Havelack, at Fraserburgh, N.B. The life-boat at Drogheda; the Robert Theophilus Garden at Wicklow; and the Quiver No. 2 at Queenstown, Ireland.

On many of the occasions when the lifeboats proceeded out with the view of saving life from shipwreck, their services were of the most arduous character, as the following account of such a case, furnished by the Hon. Secretary of the Suttpn Branch of the Institution, will show:— SOTTOS, LINCOLNSHIRE.—" On Sunday the 17th November, a messenger arrived from a neighbouring village called Chapel, with the intelligence that a vessel was lying off that place with signals of distress flying. The crew of the life-boat, Birmingham No. 1, was immediately mustered, and the boat was taken on her carriage along the coast with a sufficient number of men to launch her if required. On arriving at a point of the coast about four miles from Sutton, the crew of the lifeboat were informed that the ship had sunk, which, by the aid of a telescope, was found to be the case, the masts being just discernible above the water.

It was the opinion, however, of some of the men on the beach that, at least, a portion of the crew were in the rigging. The wind was 'at this time blowing a gale directly from the east, dead on land, and the sea running very high. The coast, too, was much interspersed with clays, which much increased the difficulty of launching the boat, and the night coming rapidly on, the chances of finding the vessel -were very small. The boat, however, was quickly launched and soon disappeared amongst the breakers. It was now quite dark, and judging that the boat would land some distance farther south, the Honorary Secretary of the Sutton Branch,Mr. ROBERT BROOK*, Jan., together with the launchers and the life-boat carriage, proceeded some three miles further to the village of Chapel, directly off which place the vessel had sunk. After the lapse of about three hours the life-boat's crew landed, drenched with vfet, MM! much exhausted. They had been unable to find.

the ship in the darkness, but as it was still thought that some of the crew might be with the ship, it was determined to wait the approach of morning and then again to launch the boat. This WOK done, but the ship had broken up during the night, and the dawn only discovered a mass of floating wreck. The boat was replaced on her carriage and taken home by land to Sutton, where it arrived about six P.M., after a long and arduous service of about twenty-wren hours. The ship was the Ardent, of Ipswich, and it afterwords proved thai the crew were taken off from the wreck by a passing ship before the life-boat was launched; but this could not be observed from the shore. The lifeboat men had been the whole time of the service without rest, and the greater part of it in their wet clothes. The boat behaved most admirably on the occasion, and the crew had the greatest confidence in her."
