HUNA, CAITHNESS-SHIEE.—During a gale of wind from the W.S.W., and an exceedi ingly rough sea, on the 20th January, the Life-boat W.M.C. was launched, at 1 A.M., to the assistance of the fishing-boat Mar- garet Ounn, of Wick, which was in a dan- gerous position in the Pentland Firth, being close to tremendous breakers. On reaching the vessel it was found that her mast had been broken while she was in the German Ocean and that she was in a sinking condition. Her crew, consisting of seven men, were therefore taken into the Life-boat and brought safely ashore..
