On the llth Sep- tember, the smack Kate and Mary, of Ark- low, was observed riding at anchor in a dangerous position during a fierce gale of wind from the S.E., a boy only having been left on board. The Arundel Vendbles life-boat, stationed at Arklow, was quickly launched, but had only got a short distance when she was filled with the heavy seas, took sternway, and got broadside on the North Pier Head. At this juncture Capt.

EDWARD KEARON jumped off the pier into the boat, and encouraged the crew to perse- vere in their efforts, and the boat attempted a second time to get through the broken water, but was again driven hack, and would have struck against the Pier Head, had not a cross sea taken her on her starboard bow and canted her to the north. A third at- tempt was made, and this time she succeeded in getting through the surf and in reaching the smack. The master of the smack, who had been taken off from the shore in the life-boat, was then put on board his vessel, which subsequently got away in safety..
