and fatal speed, with all her sails torn away but her
topsail, and four men at her helm doing all they could
to keep her out, when a most gallant rescue was effected
by Mr. Napier and Captain Frith, (the owner and cap-
tain of the Lion steamer, of Rhyl), with Bithel (the
captain of the life-boat of Rhyl) and the crew of the
Sea King (another of the Rhyl steamers) which put
out to sea in a boat, before horses could be obtained
to get out the real life-boat, and succeeded with great
difficulty and danger, in getting through the breakers,
the waves dashing over the boat and gallant crew at
every stroke of the oar. Just as they had succeeded in
rounding the point in front of Voryd, the lifeboat
W2SI brought down and launched when the noble little
crew were transferred to it, and after .1
ztr....uuuS exertions
succeeded in saving the lives of all on board the brig.
It was subsequently discovered that the brig was the
Oriental, of Lancaster. She was entering the river, at
Lancaster, the night before, from Ayr, when the storm
came on, and drifted her upwards of 100 miles. The
exhausted crew, six in number, say they never ex-
perienced suck a storm in their lives,
