On the morning of the 19th March the schooner Man/ Lloyd, of Carnarvon, came into Fish-guard Bay, and anchored in a very exposed part of it. In the afternoon, the wind sud- denly shifted to the N.N.E., and blew a terrific gale, the sea soon washing com- pletely over the vessel. The Sir Edward Perrott life-boat was immediately got ready to go to the assistance of the crew. It being low water at the time, considerable difficulty was experienced in getting her afloat, but at last she" was launched in safety. After going some distance, how- ever, the crew of the boat found it im- possible to make headway against the fear- ful storm, and they were forced to return to land, which they reached in a most exhausted state, A fresh crew was then obtained, and the oars being double-manned, the life-boat soon shot ahead, reached the vessel, and rescued the crew of 4 men, who were brought safely ashore. Nothing could exceed the admirable manner in which the boat and her brave crews behaved. The schooner ultimately stranded on the Good- wick Sands. The next morning, the wind continuing to blow a strong gale, a brigan-tine came into the bay in a distressed state, with all her sails blown away. The life- boat at once went to her assistance, and found her crew completely exhausted.

Some of the life-boat men went on board and assisted to make the vessel all snug.

After doing so, the crew of 6 men deter- mined to come ashore in the life-boat, it not being safe for them to remain, and they were accordingly safely landed. The bri- gantine was the Rebecca, of Carnarvon.
