LIFEBOA7' SERVICES.

PORTHCAWL, SOUTH WALES, Dec. 16.

The Spanish schooner Loretta, bound from
Liverpool to Cuba, with a general cargo, was seen
to be drifting on the sands to the eastward of this
port on the 13th inst. (says the Rev. E. D.
Knight.) The lifeboat Good Deliverance, belong-
ing to the National Institution at once went to the
rescue and first brought ashore the captain's wife,
the captain and crew refusing then to avail them-
selves of the services of the boat. however the
position of the vessel afterwards became so critical
that signals of distress were shown, and the life-
boat put off again through a heavy sea, and suc-
ceeded in landing the whole of the crew of eleven
men and the pilot.
The lifeboat Birmingham, at Caister, Norfolk,
and the Commercial Travellers' lifeboat at Castle-
town, Isle of Man, also went out during the recent
severe gale, in reply to signals from vessels in dis-
tress.

LOWESTOFT, Dec. 14.

Mr. John Henderson, the Chief Officer of Coast
Guard, reports that the lifeboat Lsetitia, of the
National Lifeboat Institution, has happily been the
means of saving the crew of eight men of the
Adina, of London, which was wrecked on the
Holin Sands, very early this morning.
HOLYHEAD, Dec. 13.

At about six o'clock this morning two vessels
were reported in distress in the Harbour of Refuge,
close to the backing of the Breakwater, says Wm.
P. Elliott, Esq. It was then quite dark, and was
blowing a heavy gale from S.W., and raining very
hard. The lifeboat Princess of Wales, belonging
to the National Institution, and a steamer pro-
ceeded to the spot, and, with the assistance of the
crew of the boat, the steamer took in tow a
schooner, which had dragged her anchors, and was
nearly on the breakwater. The lifeboat then went
to the assistance of the other vessel, but found a
steamer had preceded her, and taken the ship
in tow.
