At 4 P.M.

on 7th November, during a whole N.W.

gale and rough sea, it was reported to the chief engineer of the steam Life-boat that a boat belonging to the ketch TrebisMn, of Padstow, with one man in her, was drifting; and that another ship's boat belonging to the steamer Florence, manned by four men, had gone to her aid, but that both boats were in difficulty on a lee-shore. The steam Life-boat therefore went to their assistance and rescued them. As it was impossible for the men to pull against the wind, the Life-boat took the two boats in tow and put the men on board their respective vessels..
