RYE, SUSSEX.—During a strong gale from the W.S.W. and a heavy sea, on the 4th November, the s.s. Matin, of Sunderland, in ballast, was driven ashore off Camber, at 2.30 A.M. The Life-boat Mary Stanford went to her assistance, and, after great exertions, succeeded in getting alongside, and rescued fourteen men.

After landing, it was found that some men still Kfmained on board, and the Life-boat again went off to her, and brought two men safely ashore..
