THE GALE-LIFEBOAT SERVICES,

ABERYSTWITH, Monday Night.

In addition to the brief report which I forwarded on
Saturday, I am happy to add that the lifeboat of the
National Institution has returned home from her mission
of mercy, having fairly won her lautels for the first time.
I stated that the lifeboat went out on Saturday about three
p.m., in the direction of Aberayron, a distance of 15 miles.
The night having set in, and being pitch dark, the ores(
could see nothing whatever of the vessel supposed to b°
in distress, but they bravely held on until 11 o'clock)
when they went into Newquay, twenty miles Proof
Aberystwyth. There they heard of the position
the vessel, and were told that a boat from Nevicl,%
had boarded her, and had brought ashore the caPtea' t
wife and children. Early on Sunday morning the lifeb°
went off to the ship and put five of her crew on board. After
immense difficulty and great danger they succeeded ;r,
bringing the ship and her crew safely into Aberystnit'
The lifeboat behaved admirably on this occasion, and tjlei
crew have unbounded confidence in her. A great deal °
anxiety prevailed throughout Saturday night and Stind6l
morning as to the fate of the lifeboat, as well as the
no tidings having been received of either, but when bot -
returned to port they were welcomed by hundreds of cheer
ful hearts. The vessel proved to be a brig belonging
Scilly, bound from Dublin to Cardiff. The cost of this i.
boat was presented to the institution by Mrs. B. NW ;
and the boat is called " The Evelyn Wood," after an office
'.
of that name who received the Victoria Cross for his (10
tinguished services in the Crimea.

SYMPATHY.—The crew of the lifeboat at Filey, who well:
oft to save two out of three fishermen who had been eapsiOh
from their coble during the late heavy storm, have gesi°.
rously handed over to the widow of the poor fishernian
was drowned on the occasion, the reward of £6los.,grante'
to them by the National Lifeboat Institution for their
prompt and valuable services. When the coble was upset
