KINGSTOWN, IRELAND.—At 11.30 P.M.

on the llth December it was reported that some fishermen were in danger on board a wreck on the North Bull Sands. It appeared that a number of open boats were fishing near the spot when a heavy W.

gale suddenly broke upon them. Some of them succeeded in reaching the land, but four were driven on shore and lost. Their crews took refuge on the wreck in question, but as the sea was washing over them they were in great danger. The Hector Life-boat promptly went to their aid and succeeded in rescuing six men who were in a very exhausted condition..
