HUNA.—On the 8th August the Norwegian barque Minerva, in trying to pass through the Sound between the Pentland Skerries and South Ronaldshay during a fresh breeze from the S.W., was carried by the strong current to the north side of the Larger Skerry, where she struck on the rocks and sank. Her crew, who had fortunately time to collect their effects, took to their boats and landed on the Larger Skerry, where they were hospitably treated by the light-keepers. The Huna Life-boat, W. M. O., put off to the assistance of the vessel as soon as it was seen that she was in danger, proceeded to the island,and brought the ship-wrecked crew, consisting of nine men, safely to Huna..
