mendous gale from North, the sloop Isabella, of Itolcheartv,
Captain Yule, coal laden, was driven ashore in the had• of Fra-
serburgh. As soon as the vessel struck, the life-boat was hurried
to the beach in an instant b),. the crowd ; and although the tirq
instance of her being used, she was, without hesitation, manned
by several stout young men, under the ,lirect ion of Capt. Alex.
Dalrymple and Capt. Torrie, and launched into the enraged
elements. At this time the sea was running mountains high, and
snaking a fair passage over the vessel; and the wind contimini
more boisterous, if possible, the life-boat was driven so tuna

hard gale from the north‘vard, accimipanied for some hours with
heavy rain. The gale continence(' between four and five o'clock
in the morning, and continued with great violence during that
day and great part of the following. night, veering from N. N.

been very disaitroue, and great losses and dam:ige of shipping
have happened on different parts of the coast.
