SCARBOROUGH.—On the 3rd August, during a S.E. gale, the fishing yawl Providence, of Lowestoft, went ashore in the bay at low water. In order to save the vessel from being destroyed, when the tide arose Jhe Life-boat Lady Leigh was launched, and by the assistance of her crew the Providence was got afloat with the rising tide, and placed in safety.

A similar service was performed by this boat on the 18th August, when the fishing smack Dawn of Grimsby, which had gone ashore in a bad sea, but fine weather, was also got afloat by having assistance, which, from the heavy surf, could not have been rendered by an ordinary boat..
