Wreck of a Large Ship.

Carnsore, Ireland, May 27.

Mr. Barrett, the officer of coastguard, reports,
that the lifeboat Gertrude, of the National Lifeboat
Institution, on this station, was the means yesterday
of saving the lives of the whole of the crew, con-
sisting of 36 men, of the ship Blanche Moore, of
Liverpool, bound from that port to Calcutta. The
vessel was observed.to be in distress on the Long
Bank, off Wexford, about 5 p.m. The lifeboat was
immediately launched, and proceeded across the
bank, on which the sea was running ♦ery high. She
anchored on the lee side of the ship, and at once
commenced to rescue her crew, but while thus en-
gaged the ship surged on the anchor of the boat,
and the lifeboat men were ;forced to cut the cable
However they succeeded in taking into the boat as
many of the crew as possible, and the remainde►
went in the two boats belonging to the ship. The
lifeboat then took the lead, and acted as guide to
those boats across the shoal, and finally the whole•
of the shipwrecked men were safely landed is Bally-
geary Bay. llad it not been for the prompt ser-
vices of the life!)oat many of the poor fellows must
have perished, as at daylight the vessel was seen to
be full of water, and had settled down on the
sands. The sea is still running heavily.
