RAMSEY, ISLE OF MAN. — What was reported locally as " a most admirable service, quickly and gallantly rendered," was that performed by the new Life-boat on this station—the Mary Isabella—on the 16th September. On the afternoon of that day the smack Grace Darling, of Ramsey, was seen to be flying a signal of distress about two-and-a-half miles northeast of the harbour. It was blowing a whole gale from the S.W.,and a very heavy sea was running at the time. The smack had lost her sails, and one anchor had parted, while the remaining anchor was dragging. The Life - boat was soon launched, but before she could reach the distressed vessel she had drifted some distance; great difficulty was experienced in getting near enough to save those on board, but after a prolonged struggle the three men were taken off and safely landed..
