Jan. 14.—Voted the Saver Medal and 31. to Captain D. MARTIN, a yacht's skipper; 3?. to JAMES MEENAN ; and 30s. each to ten other men, for their very gallant services at Camp- beltown in a whole gale, with squalls of hurri- cane force, snow showers, and very heavy sea on the 29th December.

The Schooner Janes, of Larne, was reported in distress at about 9.40 P.M., and the Camp- beltown Life-boat was sent to her assistance.

Repeated efforts were made to reach the vessel, but owing to the exceptional severity of the weather and the soft nature of the ground the Life-boat's anchor could not hold, and the boat was swept to leeward of the distressed vessel. Shortly after the Life-boat had started, Captain Martin seeing the Life-boat could do nothing, mustered a crew of six men and put ofi in a line skiff to windward of the wreck, and dropped down under oars, let go an anchor and veered down to the wreck. Just as the boat reached the wreck two heavy seas broke over the boat, half filling her, and carried away the cable. The boat was swept to leeward, but happily near the Life-boat, and the men scrambled on board .the boat. The boat had to be abandoned, and was dashed to pieces on the beach. The Life-boat with all the men exhausted, returned ashore at 1.30 A.M. As nothing more could then be done, the gale having got worse, Captain Martin and his men went home to get dry clothes. Captain Martin soon returned, and spent the early hours of the morning on the pier awaiting a lull.

Between 6 and 7 A.M. a lull came. Another boat was manned and launched to windward of the wreck. The Life-boat also put off, but being to leeward was not able to reach the schooner as quickly as Captain Martin and his brave crew. This time their efforts were successful, and Captain Martin succeeded in rescuing two of the men on board but in a terribly exhausted condition, as they had been lashed to the rigging all night. A third man was also unlashed and taken into the boat, but it was found that he had already succumbed from cold and exposure. The cost of replacing the skiff, which was destroyed on this occasion, viz., 251., was also borne by the Institution.

Snow storms which had prevailed for some days rendered the roads impassable for transporting the Life-boat, and a blizzard prevailed at the time. As soon as information of the casualty reached Campbeltown, Life-boatmen and others started with ropes, etc., for the scene of the disaster. They drove as far as possible, and then proceeded on foot, but before they could reach the place the endangered crew of ten men were rescued by men on tihe spot; Peter Bevie being the leader, and A. Macallum displaying great pluck in going into the surf and bringing ashore a life-buoy with a line attached. Reward to Life-boatmen and others, 181. 6s. Id.
