On the morning of the 8th July, a boat was observed about four miles from the shore at Bude, with a signal flying. She tacked about several times, as if intending to make Bude. The crew assembled, and the Elizabeth Moore Garden Life-boat was launched. The breakers were quick and dangerous, with | a ground sea on. Twice the Life-boat was beaten back by the seas; the heart of one ; of the crew failed him; he declined to ; make any further attempt, and was put .

ashore. However, his place was readily supplied, and, after nearly an hour's labour, '• success attended the men's perseverance,! and the craft was reached. She proved to | be the Hattie, a yacht belonging to Mr.

ABEL TILLETT, of Norwich, who was on board with 2 men. The Hattie had been coming round from Falmouth since the 3rd July, and had left Port Isaac that morning, when she drifted into the bay, and it was feared she could not weather Hartland or Padstow Points. Mr. TILLETT and the two men were transferred to the Life-boat, and the yacht was taken in tow for Bude, and all reached the shore in safety. The Life-boat behaved admirably, and gave great satisfaction, and the service was highly spoken of..
