BEIGHTON.—The Edbert BaiJces Lifeboat was launched at 5.10 P.M., on the 21st of October, signals having been shown by the fishing-smack Volant, of Dover.

The wind was blowing from the S.S.W.; the weather was thick and the sea rough.

On reaching the vessel, which had stranded about three-quarters of a mile from the shore, it was found that she was bumping heavily and leaking. Her crew, consisting of four men and a boy, were taken into the Life-boat and safely landed; the rescue being witnessed by a large concourse of people. At high-water the smack drove ashore, and became a total wreck..
