PIPTIEN LIVES.

The weather all last week was intensely cold
on the eastern side of the country, and the keen east wind
which prevailed ap to Saturday evening produced, as is
usually the case under such circumstances, leveret serious
disasters among the shipping. The most alarming casualty
occurred off Harwie:i, where the Bremen barque Julianne,
in ballast from Bremen for Cardiff, at which port she
was to load with coals, for Vera en's, struck on the Long
Sri The ship was observed with her topmast gone; ,the
mew (who numbered fourteen hands in all) were seen mu'.
tend ea the weather quarter by the mina rigging. Two
cracks hid by the semi in the hope of saving the -poor fel-
lows, but the tremendous sea on baffled their well-inteettessed
efforts. After lying on the sand a few hours, the
111-fated ship fell on her broadside, and soon became a total
wreck, her usifortstaate crew, who were, no doubt, numbed
by the cold, being use by one engulfed in the nraggrungg
wives. The only survivor was Emil Krause, the aeeoad
wry who, before the ship heeled over, jumped overboard
with • life buoy ; on his being observed struggling amongst
the breakers, the crew of the smack Alfred put off, and
esereested in picking him up. Help came none too soon,
for be was in • very exhausted state, and the utmost skill
was required to restore him. The Swedish brig Mathilda,
Hanna master, from blerseilles for Yarmouth, with Mi-
riam, en arriving off Lowestoft made signals fora pilot. A
yawl woe launched from the above, with slimmed North Sea
• who, on reaching the vessel, found she was bound for
Yarmouth, and consequently did not offer his services; but
one of the crew of the rawl was left on board the veinal, and
took charge of her. leoder his direction she was being
brought into Corton Getway, when she grounded oh the
Curtain Sired, and the sea running heavily was soots broken
up. The yawl's nom and three of the crew saved themselves
a the loug-boat, but the mate and one English seaman were
drowned in attempting to reach the long-boat ; the captain
and three seamen were left on the wreck. As soon as the
{col;-boat reached the shore, the lifeboat was launched, and
towed out by the Eastern Counties Railway Company's
Lowestoft steam-tug, which proved of great service in
brrizts
leg the lifeboat through the heavy surf. On the w
beaog readied, the septa° and his three comps ion were
tetra off ; limey had teen Mingles to pieces of wreck for
ne.irly four home, and when relieved wen in • most ex-
hausted state.
