HAETLEPOOI.— On the otfa December the schooner Anapira, of Newburgfa, was observed about seven miles E.N.E. of Hartlepool. At the time a, most severe gale was raging, accompanied by sleet showers and a heavy sea. At 2.30 she was seen to put before the wind and run for Hartlepool. The No. 3 Life-boat, John Clay Sailow, was manned and held in readiness, as it was considered very doubtful, owing to the extreme violence of the gale, whether she would get safely in.

She reached Hartlepool Bay at about 3,40 P.M., and being straok by a heavy wave, broached to and struck the ground on the Beacon Shoal. The Life-boat immediately proceeded to her, and found her crew, consisting of five men, standing on the gangway, ready to be taken off.

They were taken into the Life-boat, the first man, in Ms eagerness to leave the vessel, accidentally jumping into the water, bat he was picked up by the Life-boatmen, and all were safely landed. After the crew had left the ship, she, contrary to expectation, drove into deeper water, and as there appeared a chance of saving her, the Life-boat Charles IngUby proceeded to < her and put four men on board; the No. 3 Life-boat also put four men on her. Sail was then made, and, with the assistance of two steamers, she was got into har-: boar..
