THE HASTINGS LIFEBOAT.

During the high wind and heavy
sea which prevailed
,n
on Monday morning last, an attempt was ,ade to give
the new lifeboat her first trial on this coast. Accordingly,
the Victoria was manned by her coastguard crew, 15 in
number, with Bingley as coxswain, was drawn upon her.
carriage to the slip-way opposite Warrior-square, it
where
was decided that the launch should take place. The boat
was followed by some hundreds of spectators, who, having
been disappointed by the unavoidable postponement of the
regatta, were no doubt pleased at the prospect of witnessing
something which might be termed a sight. The sea was
running in with such a tremendous force and the waves were
rising to so great a height, that a scene of an exciting cha-
racter was N ery naturally expected. The arrangements !or
the launch were, it appears, carried out under the superm:
tendence of Captain Gough, It.N., the chief officer in this
district. When the attempt to launch the beat was made
it was about an hour before the time of high water. The
carriage was drawn down the slip-way to the edge of the
water, and at a given signal the boat left the carriage Ewa
glided into the sea in admirable style. Immediately, how-
ever, a heavy sea broke over her, and for the moment the
men were almost hidden from view by the wave and the
dashing spray. They succeeeded, however, in retaining a
firm hold upon the rope by which they were hauling off:
but no sooner had the first wave passed than a second and
a third of equal force came down upon them. Several of
the men were washed from the hauling-off rope, but suc-
ceeded in regaining their grasp. As soon as they had
the heavy seas—through which the boat carried theta
admirably—the " lizzard," a rope through which the
hawser passed at the bow of the boat, gave way, and the
boat was immediately broadside and knocked ashore on the
groyne a short distance eastward of the spot where she bad
left the carriage. The excitement among the spectators was
intense. The boat, however, did not rest upon the groyne,
but another strong sea came and carried her over, dashing
her broadside against the parade wall. The position was it
most perilous one for the crew, and a number of the by'
standees, fishermen, and others ran into the water to render
assistance. Some of the crew jumped out, and in so doia.;
were slightly injured, and one man named Greenfield, chief,
boatswain at the Priory station, had previously been knocked
down senseless in the boat. Ultimately a rope was throw!'
to the parade, and she was drawn up to a high spot on the
beach. A hole was stove in her side, which it is thought wag
caused while she was upon the gr oyne. The damage, how-
ever, is not considered very serious, and the boat will, no
doubt, be repaired in this town. Fortunately no serious ill'
juries were sustained by the crew, who certainly had a vet/
narrow escape, and acted in a very brave and undaunted
manner throughout. Their conduct drew forth great praise
from among the hundreds of spectators who witnessed the
scene. The crew it seems have the greatest confidence in
the boat ; but the trial shows very plainly the difficulty to
be encountered in launching from this part of the coast
during a high and heavy sea. From a harbour or pier the
boat could no doubt be put off in perfect safety ; but it is to
be feared that a launch from our shores during a rough sea
will always be attended with considerable difficulty and
danger,—Sussex dvertiser.

[AuvEunsl mENT.]-11olloway's Pills.—Nothing bet"
ter.--These inva2uable pills exert a greater and more bene'
ficial influence ow r the nervous disorders than any other
medicine. This mole of action is thoroughly consonant
with reason—they coviDletely purify the blood, relieve both
head and stomach of ai.l faulty functions, and expel all op-
pressive accumulations i:rom the bowels. With the blood
purified, and all poisons pu:ged from the system, regularity
must prevail throughout the body—aches and pains taust
cease, healthy energy must supplant weariness, and the
shaky nerves must regain their wholesome tone. A course
of these pills eradicates low spirits, nervous excitabilitP
hysterics, neuralgic twitches, and other derangements de-
pendent on nervous maladies, which every considerate per'
son may thus certainly and safely remove.
