SHIPWRECKS,

CARNSORE, CO. WEXFORD.
Saturday Night.
At a late hour yesterday morning (reports Dr.
Waddy) intelligeuce was received of a large vessel
being ashore on the Long Bank, about seven or
eight N.N.E. of this place.. The weather was very
thick, and rainy, and the wind was blowing fresh
from S.S.E. The lifeboat of the National Institu-
tion, stationed at Carsore, was at once launched,
and proceeded to the scene of the wreck, and arrived
there about noon, after having passed through some
very high seas, particularly off Greenore Point, and
the south end of the Long Bank. The vessel had
British colours flying, and the lifeboat ran close to
her through a tremendously heavy sea which
was breaking over the ship half-mast high.
On arriving alongside she was found to
be abandoned. It was impossible for the boat
to return to her station, directly against the
sea, wind, and flood tide, and she was accord
ingly beached at Whitehouse. The surf here was
very heavy, but the landing was safely performed,
with the loss of a boathook only. The wrecked
vessel proved to be the ship Desert Flower, of and
from Liverpool to Calcutta, with 2,000 tons of coals
on board. The crew, consisting of 27 men, had
managed to reach the shore in their own boats, with
the exception of the chief mate and carpenter, who
Were unfortunately drowned while leaving the ship.
This lifeboat, which was the gift of a benevolent
lady to the National Institution, was instrumental

about two years since in rescuing 19 persons from
the wrecked barque Guyana, of Glasgow.
XINGSGATE, Sunday Night.
The following is the report of the coxswain of
the Kingsgate lifeboat belonging to the National
Lifeboat Institution :

"About 9 p.m. on the night of the sth inst., the
Coastguardman on duty saw a vessel ashore on
Whiteness rocks. It was then blowing strongly
E.N.E., with a heavy surf on the shore, very thick
fog and very dark, with rain. On the first intima-
tion being given to me, I sent for horses and took
the lifeboat to Joss Gap, manned her with Coast-
guardmen, and proceeded to the vessel, which proved
to be the smack Ann and Elizabeth, of Whitstable,
from Shoreham, bound to Whits .able, with oysters.
When we arrived alongside,
the vessel's crew refused
to leave her, as the tide was ebbing, and they
considered that they were in no immediate danger.
Some time afterwards the vessel dried, and the
master of the vessel walked on shore. The number
of the crew, including master,on board, and we was six mon. I left
two of the lifeboat's crow
returned to Kingsgate Bay with the boat a short
time after midnight, Wet through. The lifeboat
behaved very well on the occasion. The smack has
not gone to pieces, but I don't know what damage
she sustained this high tide, as there is a heavy sea
on the rock while I am writing,' am, &c.
" JAMES DEARMAN, Coxswain.
"To Captain Isacke, honorary Secretary of
the Kingsgate Branch of the National
Lifeboat Institution."
