ST. IVES, CORNWALL.—On the 18th January a heavy N.E. gale was experienced here, accompanied by snow. During the height of the storm the crew of the Life-boat Exeter, in response to signals, launched their boat to the help1 of the crew of a vessel which was riding in the bay on a dead lee shore, and which it was seen must inevitably strike. The Life-boat, which is one of the smaller class, 32 feet long, made gallant attempts to get off in the teeth of the storm, and against a tremendous sea, but she was driven back into harbour, the sea knocking several of the oars out of the men's hands. At about 10 A.M. she again proceeded out, and after a severe struggle got alongside, and was successful in saving the crew of five men—not a moment too soon, for the vessel soon afterwards drove on the rocks.
