RYE.—On the morning of the 14th January, the brig Allison, of Whitby, stranded near Jury's. Gap during a strong S.S.W. wind and heavy sea. The crew were then in no danger, and it was hoped that the vessel would get off with the rising tide; but in the course of the day the wind and sea increased, and they signalled for the Life-boat.
