TOE WRECK OF TOE SARAH.—Violent gales from the
S.W., S., and S.E. have been raging in this district,
with a roughness quite unusual for the month of June,
and we are very sorry to report the loss of the brigan-
tine Sarah, Captain Norris, of Union.place. The
Sarah, which is from 241) to :100 tone, a well.known
\Vermouth vessel, had 54) tons of coal for Mr. Charles,
of Lulworth, and got down there about Wednesday
week. On Sunday week there was a treinendsis ~ea
on at the Cove, and the gales being repeated with
.weasional intermiasions. much anxiety 1V8.14 felt for
the brigantine. On Friday last the wind wax violent
from the SE., and blew right into the Cove, and abont
six or seven the vessel began to drive. and ms.n she parted
her port cable, and drove ashore at Black Rocks, on .
the west side of the Cove. The coastoiard watchman
reported the accident to Mr. Morriann, chief boatman,
who assemble.' his crew, launched the whale gig, awl
proceeded to the vessel ; but they could be .1 no
assistance, as the Sarah was already anionext the
breakers. The Coantguard returned to the shore, and
went along the beach with lifebeits and lifelines, and
sneceedied in rescuing Capt. Norris and two loon; two
others having left in the chip's boat befiwe the vessel
came ashore. The Sarah was left labouring heavily on
the beach, and it wan expected that if the gale een•
tinned, alie would become • total wreck. Mr. It. A.
Ayles proceeded with a man to Lulworth ; but on
Friday night the report came that she had beaten two
holes in her bottom, and cord., not be 1111V&I. rapt.
