PENZANCE.—On the 14th February the Richard Lewis Life-boat put off to the assistance of the ship Mac Duff, of Glasgow, which was riding at anchor in a dangerous position off Lamorua during a strong SS.W. wind and a heavy sea.

Some difficulty was experienced in finding the vessel, on account of the dense fog; but eventually the Life-boat discovered her, and found that she had previously been boarded by the crew of a pilot gig.

At the request of the master, some of the Life-boatmen assisted the other men to weigh the anchor and set the vessel's sails ; after which she was then taken to a safe anchorage, the Life-boat remaining by her until all danger to the ship and crew was over..
