gaged-a small lug-sail boat at Budleigh-Salterton,

mentable to. say, each of them perished. The
boat afterwards righting, the six men recovered
their former places, sitting tip to their necks in
water, till boats pushed off from the beach to
.their assistance and took them in. The boatman,
who had just retained from serving in the navy,
trusting to hii swimming, unhappily quitted his
own boat upon the apntoach of oue (if the boats
from the shore, but, being exhausted, sunk just
before he reached it. Five Of the women were
picked hp floating on the water',' and brought
ashore, when prompt medical assistance was given
by Mr: LitcHAx, and other Gentlemen of the Fa-
culty in the place, but unfortunately, atter ttying
every possible tneatls of restoring lite; their eudea-
yourkproved ineffectual.
