Eulala

RAMSEY, ISLE OF MAN.—About noon on the 14th October the schooner Eulala, of Dumfries, was seen to exhibit signals of distress while riding heavily in the bay. She had parted one anchor, and was drifting rapidly towards the rocks.The Life-boat was immediately launched and proceeded to her. With considerable difficulty, and after sustaining serious damage, she succeeded in rescuing the vessel's crew of four men, but in consequence of her damaged condition she had to be beached some miles from her Station.

The gale was blowing with terrific force, and there was a tremendous sea running.

The Life-boatmen state that they never were out in worse weather..
