IMPORTANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

BUDE HAVEN, FRIDAY NIGHT.
This morning intelligence was received that a vessel
was dismasted and drifting on shore near this place. The
lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was immedi-
ately launched, and after pulling a distance of two miles,
in a heavy sea and strong wind, along a lee shore, reached
the vessel, and succeeded in rescuing the crews, two men
and a boy, and afterwards landing them in safety. The
sloop proved to be the Elizabeth and Mary, of Porthleven.
The lifeboat and crew were reported to have behaved ad-
mirably on this occasion. The vessel afterwards drifted
ashore in fragments.

KIRKCUDBRIGHT, Nov. 13.

Early this morning the brig Ellen, of Liverpool, went
ashore on the bar at the mouth of the river Dee, and was
in a': very critical position. A strong breeze from. the
S.S.E. was blowing, and it heavy sea running at the time.
As soon as the vessel was observed, the lifeboat of the
National Institution at this place was at once got out, and
proceeded to her assistance. Upon arriving alongside the
vessel's crew appeared to be quite ignorant of their position.
After some hours' exertion on the part of the lifeboat's
crew, ably assisted by Captain Candlish of this place, who
had gone off in the lifeboat, they succeeded in getting the
vessel off, and bringing her and the crew of three men
safely into harbour. But for the assistance thus rendered
by the lifeboat the vessel would, in all probability, have
beaten over the bar and Melton Sands, and "oecome a total
wreck.
