STONEHAVEN, KINCARDINESHIRE.—The sea rose very suddenly, the waves dashing over the piers, on the 21st February, while some of the fishing-boats were at sea. At 11.30 A.M. the Life-boat Alexander Slack was launched, and made for the boats Silver Eagle and Vine. As it was quite impossible for them to enter the harbour, the Life-boat stood by them for about three hours, when their crews resolved to cast their anchors and come ashore in the Life-boat. Each boat had a crew of five men. In crossing the bar the Life-boat was struck by two or three mountainous seas, but being splendidly handled, was brought into calm water in fine style amid the cheers of a large crowd of people. * *.
