BRIGHSTONE GRANGE, ISLE of WIGHT.

— On the 9th February, the barque Alpheus Marshall, of Digby, N.S., bound from New York to London, with a general cargo, went ashore on Atherfield Ledge during a fog. The wind was blowing from S.W. and the sea was very heavy. The Life-boat Rescue proceeded to her assistance, and with great difficulty got near her; she lay head to sea and was submerged with the exception of the starboard poop, and soon the hatches blew up, and she began to go to pieces. The crew of 14 men were taken into the Life-boat one by one from the spanker boom, having to be hauled by means of ropes through the surf, and during the whole of the time the Life-boat was almost under water, and the men were nearly washed out of her. On her return the sea was so heavy and the shore so steep that those on the land could not hook the Boat's bow as shebeached, so she swung round and a huge sea striking her threw all the crew and the saved men, 27 in all, into the surf.

Some of them were nearly washed out to sea, but all were happily rescued with the aid of those on shore..
