Lifeboat Services,

WITRERNSEA, NEAR HULL, April 16.

The new lifeboat of the National Institution stationed at
Withernsea has happily been the means (reports Captain
Swann) of rescuing three men from a position of great peril.
Some of the fishing boats left Withernsea early this morn-
ing, and returned all safe with one exception, the wind at
the time being about S, but variable. Shortly afterwards
it suddenly veered round due N., and at 12 at noon it was
S.E. These sudden changes in the wind caused a troubled
sea with a very heavy surf. Shurtly before two o'clock the
absent boat was seen about two miles out. It was quite im-
possible for her to make the land ; had she attempted to do
so she must inevitably have been swamped. On her making
signals for assistance the lifeboat was manned and launched
in a masterly manner, and with great rapidity.
The fishermen were reached; their things taken
from their boat and the boat taken in tow. The lifeboat
behaved admirably, and was brought in by the coxswain
through the heavy surf in most creditable style, and again
placed on her carriage quickly. The service was performed
to the entire satisfactian of the lookers on. It is somewhat
odd that the men saved are part of the old lifeboat's crew,
one of them being the late coxswain. The cost of this boat,
which is named the Pelican, was presented, through Wm.
Wilson, Esq., to the National Lifeboat Institution about
two years since by Miss Sarah Lcckmere of Healey Castle
Vicarage.
