The brig Ed- wardino, of Genoa, was stranded during a terrific gale from the S. on the Northern Strand of Ballycotton Bay, on the 30th December. The life-boat St. Clair went off twice, and on the second occasion rescued the vessel's crew of 10 men, after- wards landing them in safety. The first time the life-boat was blown on shore, with the loss of five oars, after having been nearly upset. She was, however, quickly launched again, and went off in gallant style to the rescue. While this service was being performed another vessel went down, and her crew un- fortunately perished..
