Harriette

NEWQUAY, CORNWALL.—On the 8th August the Life - boat Pendoclc Neale rescued the crew, consisting of two men, of the smack Earriette, of Barnstaple, bound from Swansea for Hayle with coal.

The vessel had gone ashore on the rocks at the east end of Crantock Beach, about three miles from Newquay, and became a total wreck in a very few minutes. The two men took to their boat, and remained under the shelter of a large rock called the G-oose until rescued by the Life-boat.

The wind was blowing a fresh N.N.W.

gale, and the sea was very heavy at the time..
