SALCOMBE.—A sudden gale sprung up from W.W.S., accompanied by an exceedingly heavy sea, on the 20tb Nay. The Coxswain of the Life-boat Lesty managed to return to port in his fishing-boat and reported that there were five boats at the back of the Bolt, and the wind was driving them towards the rocks. The Life-boat was therefore taken out to their assistance, some difficulty being experienced in launching her owing to the low tide, but at I P.M. she was on her way, and rescued three boats with eight men on board them. One boat had sunk, but her crew of two men were happily saved by one of the others, and the fifth boat contrived to reach the shore without assistauee, not having been situated in so bad a position as the other boats..
