Loss OF A LIVERPOOL SHIP OFF THE HUMBER.--
On Saturday a large ship called the Vaucluse, about
1,000 tons burden, and which hails from Liverpool, was
lost on the Hale Sand at the mouth of the Humber. The
Vaucluse, which was commanded by Captain Nelson, only
left Hull on Saturday morning for the north, laden with
salt. She got down the river and entered the North Sea
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the wind blowing at the
time from W.N.W. The gale at this hour was raging
furiously, and as the ship was rather light, Captain Nelson
determined to return to the Humber. The vessel, however,
would neither wear nor stay, and dritted broadside on to the
Hale Send. She was at once thrown on her beam ends, so
that her yard became embedded in the sand. The sea ran
very high, and broke constantly over the stranded ship.
Her perilous position was observed by the crow of the Donna
Hook lifeboat, and they at once put off to the rescue.
Eleven of the crew were taken off and safely landed, and
as it was found impracticable for the lifeboat to return, the
eremainder of the crew, five in number, and the Humber
pilot, left in the ship's boat. Great fears were entertained
for their safety, as they were seen to drift out into the
German Ocean. On Sunday morning nothing was to be
seen of the boat or any of the crew. On Monday afternoon,e
however, the men arrived in Hull, having landed on the
Lincolnshire coast on Sunday. It is feared that the
Vau-
cluse will become a total wreck. When she left

Admiral Fil zroy's szorm signal was hoisted.
