DUNMORE EAST, Co. WATERFORD.— The Coastguards sighted a small vessel in distress, about four miles 8, of the Hook Lighthouse, during a strong gale from the N.W. and a heavy sea, on the morning of the 18th December. The Life-boat Henry Dodd was launched at 10 o'clock, and proceeded to the vessel, which proved to be the ketch Queen of Youghal, of and from Youghal for New Boss with bricks. All her sails had been, blown away, she was leaking badly, and one of her crew—which consisted of two men—had been disabled by a block falling from aloft, and the other man was much exhausted. The Life-boat took the two men ashore, leaving five of her own crew on board, and then returned to the vessel, taking off spars and sails, and at 8.30 P.M.

brought her into Donmore Harbour..
