SCABBOBOTJGH.—During a severe storm on the 28th October, at about 9.30 A.M., the brig Mary, of South Shields, in trying to make the harbour, was driven by the wind and heavy sea on the shore. The Life-boat Lady Leigh was launched, and, after a severe struggle, reached the vessel, and saved her crew of six men and a boy.

A minute or two after the crew had been taken off, the vessel's mainmast broke close by the deck, and fell overboard with a crash, taking with it the foretop-mast.

The crew, and also the Life-boat, had a very narrow escape..
