Yarmouth, Isle of Wight.—At 9.55 P.M.

on the 6th April the coastguard reported that a steamer was ashore threequartersthreequarters of a mile west of St. Catherine's Point. She was the Italian Luigi Accame, of Genoa, bound with a cargo of iron ore from Bona to Rotterdam, and carrying a crew of twenty-nine.

She had gone aground in thick fog and was badly holed. A light southerly breeze was blowing, with a heavy swell, and visibility was nil, owing to fog and rain. The motor life-boat S.G.E. was launched at 10.15 P.M., and found the •Luigi Accame aground at Rocken End, waterlogged. The crew were just getting the ship's boats away. They were taken into the life-boat, which returned to her station at 5.15 A.M. on the 7th.

The Luigi Accame was refloated about two months later. The Italian Consul sent a letter to the coxswain, expressing the thanks of the Italian Government, and the Institution also sent a letter of appreciation. The owners made a donation of £25 to the Institution.— Rewards, £8..
