HARTLEPOOL.—On the 28th November, at about 1.50 A.M., the ketch Escape, of Goole, was observed making for Hartlepool, and showing signals of distress.

The sea being very high, the No. 3 Lifeboat John Clay Barlow put off and went towards her; but before she could be reached, she had drifted on to Middleton beach. It was found that she had 5 feet of water in her hold, and her crew, consisting of 4 men, and 3 other persons who were on board her, were therefore taken into the Life-boat and brought safely ashore. The ketch became a total wreck..
