GRATITUDE OF A SHIPWRECKED CREW.—During
the late gale the barque Julia, of Liverpool, was wrecked
off Blackrock, near Dundalk, on the Irish coast. With
the dawn or the day the perilous situation of the ship-
wrecked men who were in the rigging was seen by the
men belonging to the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat In-
stitution. The boat at once put off and brought nine of
the crew ashore—one poor follow having perished during
the fearful night. At the inquest on his body the mate
of the wrecked vessel said,—" I wish to state that the
people of the Blackrock behavedwith the greatest kindness
to us, and that only for the lifeboat we would inevitably
bo lost. I wish also to notify to the bravery of the crew
of the lifeboat, as they saved our lives at the risk of their
own, and I believe on the coast of Ireland there could not
be found braver or more skilful men in the management
of their boat. My gratitude to them will never cease, as
they saved my life, and I speak the sentiments of every
man belonging to our ship. Since we have come ashore
we have met with nothing but the greatest kindness from
every person."
