POINT OP AYR, FLINTSHIRE.—The B.S.

North Tyne, of Newcastle, bound from Huelva for Mostyn, was seen stranded, while a moderate gale was blowing from N.W., with heavy squalls and a rough sea, on the 28th January. The Life-boat S. G. Powell was launched at 10.35 P.M., and on reaching the vessel found that she had got afloat again and was riding at anchor in about five fathoms at low water.

The Life-boat stood by the steamer until the master stated that he did not require her to remain any longer. While alongside, one of the Life-boat men had one of his hands severely crushed between the boat and the vessel..
