RHOSCOLYN, ANGLESEY..—The Norwegian barque Dronning Sophie was seen to be in distress in Carnarvon Bay, and fast drifting to leeward, while the wind was blowing a whole gale from the N.W., and a very heavy sea was running, on the 7th October. She let go both anchors when about a mile and a half to the southward of Ehoscolyn, but rode very heavily, the seas breaking right over her, and soon she exhibited a signal of distress.

The coxswain of the Lifeboat, who had been watching her, quickly launched his boat, and went to the aid of the crew through a tremendous sea. On arriving near the ship, the Life-boat anchored and veered down to her, and eventually was successful, with great difficulty, in saving the whole of the crew, eleven in number, who were clinging to the rigging, and in imminent danger of being washed away. From the shore alarge number of spectators watched the struggle with intense anxiety, and when the Life-boat landed the rescued men, her brave crew were greeted by ringing cheers. Mr. J. WILLIAMS, the Chief Officer of Coastguard at Holyhead, and Honorary Secretary of that Branch of the Institution, was present with the lifesaving apparatus, expecting every moment to see the vessel part from her cables.

He spoke very highly of the gallantry of the coxswain and crew of the Life-boat, and the able manner in which the boat was managed..
