DOUGLAS, ISLE OF MAN.—At about 4 P.M. on Saturday, the 21st July, the steamer Lily, of Liverpool, which had left that port in the morning with six hundred and twenty-eight passengers for Douglas, ran aground on the rocks at Onchan Harbour, North Bay, Douglas, in a dense fog. Signals were fired from the Rocket Station and the Life-boat Civil Service, No. 6, put off in response, the launch occupying only five minutes, and stood by the vessel. Fortunately the weather was calm and the sea smooth, so that those on board, many of whom were women and children, wero in no immediate danger.

Steam ferries, a number of harbour boats and pleasure boats, proceeded to thestranded vessel, the rocket brigade effected communication with her and all rendered valuable help in getting the people ashore, the boats also landing some of the passengers' luggage. Several residents and visitors also arrived from the Howstrake district and assisted the rescued people up the cliff side, and in about an hour after the time of striking the rocks all of them were safe on shore. On the following morning the vessel slid off the rocks at high water and proceeded under her own steam to the Victoria Fier, where she was berthed, a large concourse of people watching the operation from the cliffs. •.
