ARKLOW, IRELAND.—On the 9th November, at 6 A.M., it was reported that the fishing lugger Steamboat, of Arklow, which had proceeded to sea on the previous evening, had been overtaken by a heavy N.N.W. gale, which had sprung up at midnight, when she was about six miles E. of Arklow, and that she had lost hei mast. She had been taken in tow by a larger boat, and brought in shore as far as the other boat was able to tow her, and had then dropped anchor. The Out Pensioner Life-boat proceeded to her assistance, placed six men in her, and took her crew of four men, who were much exhausted, into the Life-boat. A jury-mast was then fitted, and the boat was brought safely ashore..
