LOOE, CORNWALL.—On the morning of the 22nd October, during rough weather, the Looe Life-boat was launched and proceeded through a heavy ground sea to a small fishing-boat named the Ada, of Devonport, which had lost her foresail, jib, and mizen, and had become unmanageable.

She was fast drifting on to a dangerous reef of rocks, and would undoubtedly have been wrecked had not the Life-boat promptly moored her in a safe position, after which she took her crew of two men safely ashore amidst the cheers of the spectators. The two men were quite benumbed with the cold, and they expressed their deep gratitude for the help they had received, stating that they had given up all hope of being saved..
