THE GALE.

WITHERNSEA, NEAR HULL, 00. 29.
At daybreak this morning, at about half tide, with
the wind blowing strong from the east, and a roll-
ing sea and heavy surf on the beach, a large full-
rigged ship, deeply laden, was discovered within a
mile of the shore with the Union Jack run up at
the foremast. Seeing the ship in this perilous con-
dition) it was deemed advisable to launch the
Withernsea lifeboat of the National Institution, and

if necessary to I ut, a man on board to pilot her. The
boat had scarcely besu launched, when the wind
veered to the south east, and on the lifeboat ar-
riving alongside the ship the captain declined any
assistance. The wind getting a little more
south, and the tide making, the ship get off, and
at dark was standing for the north. The
veseel was the Marchioness of Queensberry, bound
from Quebec to Hull. Had the wind not veered to
the south and moderated, the ship could not have
got off, and would in all probability have come
ashore. The lifeboat was severely tested, and
although twice filled with water, behaved splendidly
I'he wind has this evening again increased from the
east. The cost of this lifeboat was the gift to the
Institution of the late Miss Sarah Lechmere, of
Hanley Castle.

NORTH SUNDERLAND, Oct. 29.

A vessel was observed this morning ashore on the
Island, and the signals being mistaken owing to the
fog and rain, the National Institution lifeboat went
off only to find that the shipwrecked men were safe
on the Farne, and that her services were not re-
quired. The weather was very stormy, and has
been so for the last ten days, but fortunately
nothing so severe as it has been further north,
