GKIMSBY.—A telegram having been received reporting a vessel in distress, the Life-boat Manchester Unity put off at about 9.45 A.M. on the 13th October, during a strong N.W. gale and a heavy sea. She proceeded down the Humber under sail, and on nearing the vessel, which was the brig B. W. Parry, of Barth, from Hudicksvall, with a cargo of wood for Grimsby, it was seen that she had stranded off Grainthorpe, and that every sea was breaking over her and her crew. With great danger and difficulty, tha boat receiving some damage and two oars being broken, the Life-boat succeeded in rescuing the eight men from their perilous position and landed them at Grimsby, the boat being towed back to her station by a steamtug..
