DONNA NOOK, LINCOLNSHIRE.—On the 10th March, 1867, the schooner Squire, of Yarmouth, was observed making for the shore in a disabled state, a heavy gale blowing from E.N.E. at the time. -The North Briton life-boat was soon launched, and gallantly pulled through a very heavy sea to the rescue of the crew. The vessel struck the ground immediately on reaching the breakers, heeled over, and began to break up. The crew took to their own boat, and when picked up by the life-boat she was half full of water, and the poor fellows quite exhausted. Had it not been for the prompt arrival of the life-boat the boat must have been swamped, and the crew of 4 men lost.

APPLEDORE, NORTH DEVON.—About midnight on the 29th March a vessel was reported on shore on the South Tail, Bideford Bar, wind blowing strong from N.N.W., and a heavy sea on. The Hope life-boat was immediately launched, and succeeded in saving the crew of 3 men in a very exhausted state. They had taken to the rigging, the vessel being fall of water, and the sea breaking over her. She proved to be the brig Harmony, of Bideford.

PALLING, NORFOLK.—On the night of the 30th March the Parsee life-boat went off during a fresh wind from N.N.W. and rough weather, and saved the crew of 6 men from the schooner La Prudence, of Algiers, which was totally wrecked on Palling Beach.

HOLYHEAD.—On the night of the 31st March, during a gale of wind from the N.W., the Princess of Wales life-boat went off in reply to a signal from the Austrian schooner Nicolo, which had stranded near Penial, Anglesea, to the assistance of some boatmen, who were on board employed in stripping the vessel, but in consequence of the heavy weather were unable to reach the shore. The life-boat took the schooner's crew of 10 men, and 4 workmen, into the life-boat, and brought them safely ashore.

BLACKPOOL, LANCASHIRE.—Early on the morning of the 11th April, during a heavy gale of wind from W.N.W., the Robert William life-boat proceeded to the rescue of the crews of two vessels in distress off this place. On reaching the nearest vessel—the barque H. L. Roufh, of New York—the life-boat put a pilot on board, and as she was in no great danger, the boat went on to the barque Susan L, Campbell, of Weighmouth, Nova Scotia, which was evidently becoming a total wreck on the Salthouse Bank. On arriving alongside, after nearly three hours' hard conflict with tremendous breakers, the whole of the crew of 14 men were safely got into the life-boat. Owing to the ebbing of the tide, however, on the banks, and the unabated fury of the surf, the life-boat could not land at Blackpool, and was obliged to run before the sea to Lytham, and there land the shipwrecked sailors. The H. L. Routk fortunately succeeded in getting off the bank, and with the assistance of the Lytham life-boat, which had also put off, and the weather subsequently moderating, she got out of danger. The Blackpool and Lytham life-boats were reported to have behaved admirably throughout these gallant services.

ILFRACOMBE, NORTH DEVON.—On the 20th April, the ship Nor" Wester, of Boston, U.S., with a crew of 24 men, bound from Cardiff to Monte Video with a cargo of coals, was passing this place in tow of a powerful steam-tug, when the wind suddenly shifting from S.S.W. to N.W., a heavy sea quickly rose, and the ship went on a lee-shore, and was quite beyond control of the tug. Her two anchors brought her up about a cable's length from the rocks, in a very dangerous position. Two other tugs went to her assistance, but they were as powerless to help her as the first had been.

Under these circumstances both ships and tugs hoisted signals of distress. The lifeboat Broadwater was at once launched, and made for the ship through a very heavy sea.

The tug, on the approach of the life-boat, steamed to meet her, and towed her ahead of the ship. The boat then let go her anchor, veered down to the port side of the ship, and at the captain's earnest request took out of her the captain's wife, three children, and a servant girl. This was a most difficult service, one of the children being of very tender age, and all having to be lowered in a basket.

After landing them in safety, the life-boat again put off, and assisted to get the vessel out of her dangerous position, and she was then taken to Cardiff for a refit.

SCARBOROUGH, YORKSHIRE.—Early on the morning of the 21st May, the smack Choice, of Hull, drove from her anchor at the entrance of the harbour, and fired a gun.

as a signal of distress. The Scarborough life-boat was immediately launched, and took off 3 of the vessel's crew, the remaining 2 men being rescued by the rocket apparatus. The wind was blowing strong from N. by E. at the time, and a heavy sea was running.

LOWESTOFT AND PAKEFIELD, SUFFOLK.— On the 23rd May, during a strong breeze from the N.E. by E., the brig Amicizia, of Genoa, was observed to take the ground in the Stanford Channel. The Lowestoft and Pakefield life-boats both put off to the rescue of the crew. The first-named boat arrived alongside the wreck first, and took off 10 men from the rigging, afterwards landing them in safety. The Pakefield life-boat succeeded in rescuing the remaining 4 men. The vessel soon afterwards became a total wreck.

CARNSORE, IRELAND.—On the 26th May, the Gertrude life-boat on this station put off, and succeeded in rescuing the whole of the crew of 36 men, belonging to the ship Blanche Moore, of Liverpool, which was totally wrecked during a strong wind and squally weather on the Long Bank, off Wexford.

Had it not been for the prompt services of the life-boat, many of the poor fellows must have perished, as at daylight on the following morning the vessel was seen to be full of water, and had settled down on the sands.

RHOSCOLYN, ANGLESEY.—On the 5th June, whilst the life-boat on this station was returning after her quarterly exercise, the crew observed the schooner Hope, of Beaumaris, riding at anchor in a very perilous position in Cymmuran Bay. There was a gale of wind blowing at the time, and a heavy sea running. The life-boat bore down to the vessel, and succeeded in getting her out from her. dangerous position near the rocks. While assisting to raise the vessel's anchor, one of the life-boat men unfortunately had his arm broken.

SWANSEA.—On the 14th April, during 'a very severe gale of wind, a brig was seen to part from her anchors in the Mumbles Roads, and to bum signals of distress. The Wolverhampton life-boat was promptly launched, and remained by the vessel until, the tide rising, she again broke fi-om her moorings. The life-boat then returned to Swansea, and obtained the assistance of a steam-tug, by which means the vessel was subsequently brought safely into harbour.

She proved to be the brig Wellington, of Aberystwith.
