The Late Gale.

FISHOUARD, SOUTH WALES, Monday Night.
Yesterday morning (reports Mr. Wm. Vaughan) the
Fishguard (the Sir Edward Perrot) lifeboat, belonging to
the National Institution, was fortunately the means of res-
cuing the crew of the schooners Albion, of Teignmouth,
and the Emma, of Barrow, both vessels being at anchor in
our bay. The former came in here on Friday last wind
bound, and the latter ran iu yesterday at noon, having
carried away her jibboom, mainhoom, and several
sails. Both vessels being strangers here came to
anchor rather too far out in the bay, and the wind
having suddenly shifted to the N.N.E., and consider-,
ably increased in violence, with a tremendous sea running,
both vessels were in imminent danger. The gale being on
the increase with every prospect of a terrible night, it was
determined to launch the Sir Edward Parrott Lifeboat, and
send her out to see if any assistance wasi
required, and she
and after havng carefully
sweacsuiheadiltehdeii. withv theessel tesgbroetahst joy,
were but too glad to go
crews
ashore in the boat; all were safely taken on board and
landed at Goodwick. The lifeboat behaved admir-
ably on the occasion, and, notwithstanding the heavy
sea and broken water she had to go through,
she steadily went on and never lost her at all
This morning about nine o'clock the Albion parted both
chains,lrapidly drifted on the rocks, and in a few minutes
became a total wreck. Had the crew been on board every
soul must have perished, as it would have been impossiblo
to have rendered them any assistance, as she so rapidly
broke up and heeled over. I cannot close these remarks
without speaking in the highest terms of our excellent cox-
swain and the crew, whose conduct on this occasion de-
serves the highest commendation. .

I have to report (says Mr. Woodrow, officer of Coast-
guard) that the lifeboat of the National Institution on this
station, was launched this morning to the assistance of au
open yawl which was at anchor under the lee of Craig
Leith Island, a distance of three-quarters of a mile north
from the harbour. The wind was blowing a moderato
gale from N.N.W., and there was a heavy sea on. The
lifeboat behaved admirably, and succeeded in taking off
the crew, consisting of a pilot and two men, from the yawl
with cold and hunger,

I regret to repo

o'clock this morning a fishing on this coast. At 8
yawl, belonging to Whitby,
came on shore about thre
e-quarters of a mile to the north
of Seaton. The crew, instead of waiting until assistance
could be rendered them by the lifeboat of the National
Lifeboat's Institution, unhappily immediately took to their
little boat, which
was at once swamped, and they were all
—nine in number—drowned. This took place not more
than five minuted after the vessel had struck. If the poor
men had only remained on board their craft
they would all
have been saved by the Seaton Carew lifeboat
