On the 27th October, another severe 1 gale sprang up from the N.N.E., and the ! barque Bertolemeo Cerruti, of Genoa, which ! was riding at anchor, was observed to I drift rapidly on shore, the sea soon ; making a complete breach over her. The I life-boat was quickly launched; but the sea, wind, and tide drove her to the southward at a fearful rate, when she was got ashore again as soon as possible, and ', plenty of help being at hand, she was ! taken on her carriage to windward of the , wreck and launched again, but with the I same result at first, all attempts to throw : a line or buoy being of no avail. With heroic determination, however, the crew strenuously renewed their exertions, which ! were at last crowned with success, for, I amid the most intense anxiety on the | part of the crowds on shore, the boat, which was frequently seen to be thrown i almost end-over-end by the heavy sea, was observed to linger, by which it was evident she answered to her anchor, which had been thrown out. She was then allowed to drift right under the bows of the wreck. Some of the shipwrecked men were on the bowsprit ready with .. ropes and chains, which one of the life- boat men succeeded in grappling and in making fast to the boat. The sea at this time was running over the ship in a fearful manner, and two of the crew had a very narrow escape of being washed overboard. Now commenced the difficulty of getting the poor fellows into the life-boat. It was a difficult task, as they could only reach the life-boat when she was under the bowsprit, and then only by lowering themselves by ropes. One fell into the sea, but was quickly hauled into the boat. One after another they dropped into the arms of the life-boat men, until the whole of the vessel's crew, 14 in number, were got into the boat, which brought them safely to land. The vessel almost immediately began to break up, and soon afterwards not a vestige of her was to be seen; and had not the life-boat succeeded in reaching her at the time she did, all these poor foreigners would most probably have perished.
