WEXFORD, IRELAND.—On the 24th February, at about 6.30 P.M., while a strong breeze from E.N.E. was blowing, accompanied by a heavy sea, signals of distress were observed from the fishing lugger Dolphin, of Wexford, which had just struck on the leeward side of the bar in running for the harbour during a heavy snow squall. The Life-boat Civil Service was immediately launched, and on arriving alongside found the lugger full of water, and the sea breaking heavily over her.

The crew, consisting of 5 men, were with some difficulty taken into the Life-boat and landed safely at Kosslare Fort. The vessel was totally wrecked..
