RAMSEY, ISLE OF MAN.—Considerable anxiety was felt here on the 16th August, as to the safety of two pleasure boats with five visitors on board which had set out for Peel. At 9.45 P.M. the wind blew a gale from the S.S.W., the sea was rough, rain was falling heavily, and the night was very dark, and as no tidings conld beheard of the boats, it was decided to send out the Life-boat Two Sisters to try to find them and render help if required.

One of the boats was found at anchor about three quarters of a mile E. of the harbour but not requiring assistance.

The other was discovered about two miles N.E. of the harbour; she had lost her jibboom and was almost unmanageable; two of the Life-boatmen therefore boarded her, a temporary sail was rigged, and the boat was taken safely into the harbour..
