PALLING.—On the 29th December, at 2 P.M., the British Workman Life-boat proceeded to the North Float light-ship, in reply to guns fired from that vessel.

On arrival it was found that the master and his wife, and the crew of 10 men of the three-masted schooner Ensimainen, of Borga, Finland, were on board the lightship, they having taken to their boats on their vessel stranding on the Hasborough Sands during the night. These persons were taken on board the Life-boat and safely landed..
