HEROIO CONDUCT.—The Gateshead Observer recordo
the following
: On Monday, about half-past one o'clockin the morning, the schooner Isabella was making for
Sunderland harbour, the wind •bliwing a gale from
the east. The tempest drove her behind the south
pier, the waves dashed over her masts, and the ores',
were in imminent peril of destruction. The Wear Cony
rnissioners' men were at hand with rocket-lines. The
Stormy Petrel, Mr. Joseph Hodshon, ever present in
the hour of danger, was also there, and slipped off his
clothes, volunteered to carry a line on board, 250 yards
distant, and performed tbe daring feat, and all baud%
were " cradled" on shore in the rocket chair.
