FISHGUARD, SOUTH WALES.—While a strong W.N.W. gale was blowing, with sleet, squally weather and a heavy sea, on the 3rd March the Coastguard watchman reported a schooner about five or six miles out, bearing N.N.W. from the look-out house, in a disabled condition, without any sail, and labouring very heavily.

The No. 2 Life-boat, Appin, was launched at about 4 P.M., and sailing towards the vessel, reached her when about three or four miles distant from the station. She was in a sinking condition, having about seven feet of water in her hold; she had not a stitch of canvas left, and as it was dangerous to be on her deck, owing to the heavy seas sweeping over her, there was no alternative but to abandon her; her crew of three men and a boy then got into the Life-boat, and the schooner— the Agricola, of Cardiff—drifted towards Cardigan Head, and ultimately became a total wreck..
