PADSTOW, CORNWALL.—The trawler Annie, of Brixham, while attempting to come into Padstow on the 13th February, grounded on the " Doombar." There was a heavy ground sea and strong W.S.W. gale at the time, andshe no sooner struck than the seas made a clean breach over her. Within a few minutes of the disaster the No. 1 Life-boat, Arab, put off to the ketch.

The position of the five men on board was one of great danger, but happily before the Life-boat reached them the vessel floated off, and by the time the Arab came alongside they were in comparative safety ; the master, however, asked for help to take his vessel to Padstow, and three Life-boatmen having been placed on board, the port was safely reached..
