CULDAFF, Co. DONEGAL.—On Sunday, the llth February, as a flag of distress was seen flying on Innistrahull Island, efforts were made on the mainland to ascertain by signals what was the matter, but these failed owing to the state of-the weather. Some fishermen who had left the island three weeks previously for the purpose of procuring provisions, and had been unable to return owing to stormy weather, afterwards stated that the inhabitants were almost destitute of food and fuel. Supplies were obtained and the crew of the Life-boat William Montgomery assembled with the intention of taking them off, but the wind was then blowing a hurricane, the barometer was falling very rapidly, and it was evident that the island could not be reached that night. At 5 o'clock in the morning the crew again assembled, the Life-boat was launched and proceeded under shortened sail for the island, but, meeting a head wind and an adverse tide, she was compelled to return when half the distance had been traversed. At 3.45 P.M., when the ebb tide had made, the boat again started and, after experiencing very heavy weather in Innistrahull Sound, and being repeatedly submerged by the heavy seas, arrived at the island, and with considerable difficulty on account of the darkness and the rough seas succeeded in effecting a landing. The provisions were distributed amongst the islanders, who were in a pitiable condition, and the boat returned to her station early the next morning..
