PALLING.—On the 28th October, at 4 A.M., during a fresh westerly wind, signals of distress from the North Hasborough Sands light were heard. The British Workman Life-boat proceeded out, and, when about 3 miles from the land, picked up a ship's boat containing 6 men.

They proved to be the crew of the schooner Smiihfield, of Aberdeen, bound from that port to London with stone, which vessel had stranded on the Hasborough Sands during the night. The master had been left on board the schooner, and the Lifeboat therefore proceeded towards her, and with much difficulty succeeded in rescuing him from the rigging, the vessel having sunk. The Life-boat then made for her station, and arrived at about 2 P.M., having been engaged 10 hours in rendering this service.
