APPLEDORE, NORTH DEVON.—At about 9.50 A.M. on the 8th March a dismasted vessel was seen in the Bay, driving towards the North Tail Sand. A strong W.S.W. wind was blowing, accompanied by a heavy ground sea. In reply to her signals of distress the Life-boat Mary Ann was launched, and brought ashore the master, pilot, and crew of two men.

She proved to be the smack Mary Stevens, of Padstow, bound from Barnstaple to Newport in ballast..
