KILDONAN, ISLE OF ARRAN.—On the 11th February, at 10.30 A.M., the Life-boat Hope proceeded, in tow of the tug steamer Flying Sprite, to the assistance of a ship reported on shore on the Sliddery Rock, at the south end of the island. It was blowing hard from the westward. On the Life-boat approaching the stranded vessel it was found that the bulk of the crew had already landed in their own boat. One man gladly availed himself of the services of the Life-boat, but the captain and two mates refused to abandon the vessel, in hopes of the weather moderating. The stranded vessel was the barque Queen of Hearts, of Miramichi, bound from the Clyde to Baltimore.

The Life-boat landed the man in safety by 3 P.M..
