LOSS or LITE car Howrli, NEAR DUBLIN.
A correspondent, writing from Howtb, thus alludes to the
recestlamentable boat accident off that place andto the want
of mesasfor restoring the apparently drowned. " A boat
foundered off HOWth last seek, when six men lost their
lives, only two having been saved. From what I can learn
it is providential that even these two were recovered, in-
asmuch as the means adopted for their restoration were of
the most primitive sod ignorant description. Some of the
valuable instructions of the National Lifeboat Institution
for the restoration of the apparently drowsed kayo since been
Ireceived at Howtb and posted up in conspicuous places, is
the event of future similar accidents. It is really lamenta-
ble to know, considering our proximity to Dublin, that Do
lefficient means exist here to saes life from wrecks. It is
earnestly hoped that the rocket life saving apparatus will
! be supplied us before the winter estate, and that the lifeboat
station of the Dublin Ballast Corporation will be made effi-
cient. The trafile in this neighbourhood is very greet, sad
exertions ought to be wade at once to establish at Howth
owe of the single banked lifeboats of the National Lifeboat
Institution, like the one it has at Sherries. The society has
made overtures to the Ballast Corporation to take its four
lifeboats under its char For the sake of the cause of
humanity sod the credit of the Ballast Board I earnestly
trust these segoeistioes will speedily be brought to
•Misfaetory coochasies."
