HOLY ISLAND, NORTHUMBERLAND.—The No. 1 Life-boat Gfrace Darling was launched at noon on the 15th February to the assistance of the fishing-boats which were in danger, a strong wind and a very heavy sea having sprung up since they had gone to the fishing-grounds.

Three boats had returned, the last one having a narrow escape in crossing the bar, and seven others were at sea, about four miles from the shore. The Life-boat went over the bar and guided each of the boats in turn into safety..
