WICKLOW, IRELAND.—A ship's life-boat full of people came ashore 'at 9 A.M. on the 1st September. The officer in charge of her reported that she was from the s.s. Lake Nepigon, of Montreal, which had stranded on Arklow Bank, and that five other boats full of people had left the ship and were at sea. The Life-boat Robert T. Garden was launched, and went in search of the boats; the wind was then blowing a gale from the S.S.W., the weather was very thick, and there was a bad sea running. After about an hour the Life-boat fell in with the five boats, took on board the crews—consisting of thirty-two persons—of two of them, and took a third boat—with twenty people in her—in tow. A vessel was then sighted to windward, and the Life-boat signalled her; whereupon she bore down upon them, took the people out of the remainj ing two boats, and made for Kingstown.

The Life-boat steered for Greystones, where the fifty-two people were safely landed. The steamer was on a voyage from Liverpool to Montreal, with pig-iron and a general cargo, and had one hundred and fifty-four persons on board..
