THE GALE.

The gale which has prevailed during this week has done
great damage among the shipping on our Northern and
Eastern coasts. Several vessels have been driven ashore
near Dunbar, on the east coast of Scotland. One of them,
a schooner, went ashore near Tyne Water, at d was
dashed to pieces, the crew being drowned. A brig, sup-
posed to have been the City of Aberdeen, also struck upon
the rocks and went to pieces. The crew scrambled up the
rocks, and the coastguardsraen attempted to reach them,
but all were washed away. Another schooner went
ashore at Tyne Sands, and it is feared that
all hands were lost. A telegram from Edinburgh reports
that more than twelve vessels were ashore at Dunbar at
one time, and that four milesof the coast were strewn with
wrecks and cargo. Off North Berwick the storm has been
felt with great severity. A large vessel was driven on
the Maiden Rock, near the harbour, and the crew wero
in imminent danger, but they were happily rescued by the
North Berwick Lifeboat, after great exertion. Three
fishing-boats were lost off Saltburn•by-the-Sea, with
a loss of nine lives. Unfortunately, a large
fleet of fishing-betas had left the Tyne on Tues-
day for the herring fishery, and several of them are
missing. The greatest anxiety prevails among the rela-
tives and friends of the missing crew, and the men whose
boats have come back safely have lost many valuable nets.
From South Shields.great disasters are reported.
The Anne of Rye went on the Trow Rocks and became
a total wreck. .ller crew were saved by the Volunteer
Life Brigade men, who also assisted in saving many lives
from fishing-boats in distress.
The lifeboats on the coast have, aa usual, been doing
good service. The lifeboat Sheffield succeeded on Wed-
nesday morning in saving four lives from a flatlet-mot
fishing vessel, which had drifted on the rocks near Bruns-
wick Bay. The lifeboat at Anstruther, N. 8., went out
to render assistance to distressed vessels. It deserves
to be noticed that the boat was launched ht
ten minutes after she was sent for, though else bad
been just painted, and, in consequence; everything
was out of her. The loss of life scorns to haVe teeti
unusually heavy, for the time of the year. From Hartle-
pool we learn that some thirty sail of local boats are as
yet unaccounted for, while on the Scarborough coast the
services of the harbour-master and of the lifeboat men
have been in constant requisition.

Champagne Charley, after winning a Selling Plate at
Ascot on Thursday, was claimed by Mr. Bryan for .£lOO.
