ST. DAVID'S, PEMBROKESHIRE.—On the 15th October, at about 1 P.M., the Augusta Life-boat was launched, it having been reported that the brigantine Messenger, of Exeter, bound from Teignmotzth to Buncorn with a cargo of clay, had had all her sails blown away on the previous night, and was drifting down towards the north end of Kamsey Sound. The tide was very strong at the time, and a strong N.N.E.

breeze was blowing. The brigantine struck on a rock called Wain Garrig, about two miles to the north of Eamsey island.

Three of her crew managed to get on the rock, but the vessel then slid off with the master and two men on board, and drifted down to the west of Eamsey Island. The Life-boat proceeded towards the rook, and after a hard pull against wind and tide, succeeded in taking the men off and landed them at St. Justinian. The Life-boat then proceeded to Eamsey Island, but could not find the vessel. It was subsequently found that she had made for Milford Haven, but foundered when about halfway.

The captain and two men landed safely at St. Anne's Head, at the entrance to Milford Haven..
