Marina Benvenuto

ABKLOW, IBELANB,—At 3 P.M. on the 28th December the Italian barque Marina Benvemito, bound from Liverpool to Cardiff in ballast, was observed ashore on the -Arklow bank. The wind was blowing from the 8.W., the weather was hazy, and the sea smooth. Just as she was reported to be in distress her boat was seen to be coming ashore. On its arrival the master requested the services of the Life-boat, and the Out-Pensioner Life-boat accordingly went to the vessel and placed twelve men on board, who rendered every assistance.

About 6.40 F.M. the barque floated and was taken to Kingstown..
