On the night of the 24th August the Life-boat Civil Service ren- dered a most gallant service to the crew of the schooner Rambler, of Wexford.

The Life-boat, on account of the tre- mendous seas, was quite unable to get within reach of the wreck, and anchored near until about three o'clock in the morning, when she contrived to get j within reach, and, though seas swept completely over wreck and boat, saved j the crew of 3 men, returning to her j station after a nine-hours' absence. The Institution specially recognised the ser- vices of Mr. W. H. TAYLOK, of ELM.
