Italiana, of Nuova Rosa,

MARYPORT.—On the 29th August the barque Italiana, of Nuova Rosa, got ashore on Seaton Point, near Workington, during a fresh breeze at N.W. A boat from the neighbouring coast put off to give assistance, but was capsized, and 3 men on board her were drowned. The Maryport Life-boat, Henry Nixson No. 1, was then telegraphed for, and she was promptly launched and proceeded to the vessel, which by that time had floated off, but needed a pilot. One was supplied from the Life-boat's crew, and the Henry Nixson then returned to her station..
