SENNEN COVE, CORNWALL.—During a dense fog on the 27th of May H.M.

Torpedo Destroyer Recruit struck the rocks, about half a mile N. of Cape Cornwall, at 4 o'clock in the morning. The Coxswain, hearing distress signals, summoned the crew of the Life-boat Ann Newbon, launched and proceeded to her assistance. Her Commander requested the Coxswain to stand by. Tugs subsequently arrived, and during the afternoon she was got off the rocks and towed to Penzance. After remaining in attendance for about two miles, the Coxswain was informed that their services were no longer required, so the boat returned ashore, arriving at 5 P.M..
