On the following morning the gale had somewhat moderated, after a terrible night; but the sea was still very rough.

At about noon the Dutch galliot Her- Iruder went ashore, and the Life-boat was again promptly manned, and brought safely ashore the crew of three men.

The Silver Medal of the Institution was awarded to JOHN OWSTON, coxswain of the Life-boat, in acknowledgment of his gallant services in the Boat on these and previous occasions, and extra rewards were granted to the crew of the Life-boat..
