nobly yesterday is reuniter 22 poor ows from a watery
grave. During the heavy gale two large 'meets, a barque
and a brig, wars seen in distress in Bt. Austetra Bay, driving
before the wind towards Par Stands. The 'debut was
moos launched and making her way throuh the betoken
towards the ships, which had Dow taken the ground,
and were broadmide on to the fearful breakers
which were ruoning high over the topmast heads. about
great difikulty the crew managed to get the lifeboat about
midway between the station and the eroded ships, whet
the sea rose so high that six of the oars were snapped
sounder, Ito that the crew could make no headway against
the violence of the increasing storm. The comma* Mr.
Heath, with great mothee of mind, allowed the boat to
drift to leeward some distance, and than, knowing bee sail-
ing qualities, hoisted naves and steered her close to the
wind's eye, so as at least to reach the pier at Par. The
boat behaved most nobly under her canvas, without
which she could not have reached the ships. The
crew of the brig, despairing of the lifeboat rouble(
them, proceeded to launch their boat. and two of the
crew got on board, but so fearful was the upset of the
broken water that one of the crew returned to the ship,

poor fellow clung to the boat, and the lifeboat crew

The crew, including the master, thirteen in all, were taken

any of the crew to quit the past of honour until the last man
