PADSTOW, CORNWALL.—The ketch Tavy, of Plymouth, entered the harbour at 7 P.M.

on the 14th February, but was unable to take a pilot owing to the rough weather, the wind blowing a whole gale from the S.E. and a very heavy sea running. She anchored off Hawker's Cove, but the force of the wind caused her to drag her anchors and finally she drove on the rocks and became a total wreck. When she struck, the master signalled for assistance, and at 9'15 the Life-boat Arab was launched, proceeded to the vessel, and three quarters of an hour afterwards returned to the shore with the shipwrecked crew, numbering four men..
