FLAMBOROUGH, YORKSHIRE.—The coastguard having reported that a vessel was burning flares S. of the Head, near the Smithic Sands, while a whole gale was blowing from N.W., with a heavy sea, on the 26th January, the Life-boat Matthew Middlewood was launched about 3.35 A.M., and rescued the crew of eight men from the vessel, the barquentine Aurora, of Guernsey. At about 9 A.M.

the weather moderated, and the master and crew being anxious to return to the vessel, the Life-boat was again launched for this purpose, and put on board the crew and some boatmen, who were successful in taking the vessel to a safe anchorage about 5 P.M..
