On the 26th October, the smack Margaret Davis, of Girvan, was totally wrecked on a reef of boulder-stones, a short distance south of the harbour of that place, during a gale of wind. The crew expected to get her off, but the gale increas- ing to a hurricane, the vessel became a total wreck. The Earl of Carrick life-boat put off and rescued, after great difficulty, the vessel's crew of 3 men. A pilot-boat made repeated attempts to reach the vessel, but was unable to do so; and it was only after two hours' exertion that the life-boat suc- ceeded in saving the poor fellows : a very heavy sea struck the life-boat after leaving the wreck, and completely filled her; but she was all right aa;ain in a minute or two, and those on board were highly pleased with her behaviour..
