ST. DAVID'S.—On the 11th November, at 5 P.M., it was reported that there was vessel stranded on Ramsay Island. The crew of the Life-boat Augusta immediately proceeded to the station, rockets and blue lights were fired, but no answer was made from the wreck. It was then blowing perfect gale from W.S.W. with heavy rain.

It was found impossible to launch the Life-boat; but at 5 o'clock on the following morning she proceeded, and had hard pull for four hours to gain the wreck. The vessel was found to be the brigantine Mystic Tie, of Ardrossan. The mate and 6 of the crew had managed to get on a small rock called Cantour, from which they were rescued with much difficulty by the crew of the Life-boat by hauling them through the surf in a lifebuoy.

The last man rescued had a very narrow escape of being drowned, a huge breaker washing him from the rock before he could get into the buoy or cut the line which had fouled on the rock with a turn around his wrist and foot. The crew of the Life-boat, however, bent to their oars, and the boat was pushed in amongst the breakers; the bowman then cut the line, and with others seized the man, and the boat shot back in safety. The man was in dangerous condition when rescued, and the boat therefore immediately made for the mainland to obtain medical assistance.

The master and one of the crew of the vessel had with difficulty succeeded in swimming ashore, while one man of the crew had been drowned. In recognition of the gallantry displayed by the crew of the Life-boat on this occasion, the thanksof the Institution, inscribed on vellum, were voted to Capt. JOHN BEES, the Hon.

Secretary of its St. David's branch, who acted as bowman, and to Capt. DAVID HICKS, the coxswain, and an extra pecuniary reward was granted to the crew of the boat. The master of the vessel wrote to the Institution expressing his high appreciation of the manner in which the service was performed..
