CLOVELLY.—The smack Telephone, of and for Padstow from Newport, coal laden, parted one of her cables in Lundy Eoads, in a" moderate gale from N.N.W.

and a rough sea, on the 3rd March, and was obliged to slip the other to avoid being driven ashore. She drifted about between Lundy and Hartland Point, losing most of her sails, and finally ran for Clovelly. Intelligence of her being in distress having reached the Clovelly Lifeboat Station the crew were at once summoned, and the Life-boat Elinor Roget proceeded out and met the smack about five hundred yards westward of the pier.

The Life-boat's anchor and cable having been taken on board she was anchored, and her crew of three men were brought safely ashore. At high water the Lifeboat again went out and brought the vessel into harbour..
