OKME'S HEAD, CARNARVONSHIRE.—At 4 o'clock on the morning of the 28th April, during a strong E.N.E. wind and a rough sea, one of the Life-boat crew saw a man coming ashore in. a punt from the yacht Wave, of Liverpool. The boat capsized, but the man fortunately swam ashore through the surf. He then called for the Life-boat to put off to the assistance of those who were still on board the yacht.

The Sisters' Memorial Life-boat was imme- diately launched with some difficulty, the •wind and tide being direct on shore, and rescued three men. The vessel parted her cable after dragging her anchor, and became a tote! wreck in Llandtzdno Bay..
