TOTAL SHIPT BECK.

On the night of Saturday last, the 16th inst., in
a heavy gale of wind, the brig San Spiridione, of
Galaxidi, in Greece, was driven on shore in Tra-
more Bay, county of Waterford, where she was dis-
covered early in the morning with the sea breaking
over her, and her crew in the rigging. The Tramore
lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Insti-
tution, was quickly launched and every effort made
by her crew to reach the vessel, but the wind and
sea were too strong for them, and after persevering
for some time the effort had to be given up and the
boat relanded. She was then conveyed to the west-
ward end of the bay, and another crew, composed
of Coastguardsmen and amateurs, was obtained,
when she was again launched, and this time suc-
ceeded in getting within a few yards of the wrecked
vessel, the crew of which might then have been
taken into the boat if they would have jumped into
the water and allowed themselves to be hauled into
her by lines, bat this they would not do. The life.
boat then drifted from the vessel again, and, being
struck on her broadside by a very heavy surf, was
upset. Fortunately she possessed the self-righting
property, and immediately righted again. Three
of her crew regained her. The rest, five in num-
ber, made for the shore, which, being supported by
their lifebelts, they all reached in safety. The life-
boat was then again landed and replaced upon her
carriage, in readiness for another effort as soon as
there might appear any probability of its being suc-
cessfully made. Shortly after, however, the wreck
suddenly broke up, and its crew were seen clinging
to its various parts, amid the boiling surge. The
lifeboat was then again quickly launched and rowed
to the site of the broktha fragments, amid which she
succeeded in saving two of the ship's crew; two
others were rescued by persons from the shore who
waded into the surf and threw lifebelts to them,

the remainder, six in number, having unhappily
perished. The coxswain of the boat, Richard
Johns, a Coastguardsman, went • out in charge of
the boat on every occasion, and exerted himself to
the utmost in the humane attempts to save life,
which unfortunately proved only in part success-
ful. The upsetting of this lifeboat, although
she is only a small six-oared boat, is only one more
illustration of the liability of all boats to upset
under some circumstances. It is, however, also an
illustration of the value of the self-righting pro-
perty, and of the importance of the crews of life-
boats being provided with efficient lifebelts ; had
either of these provisions been absent in this case
the same sad tale might have had to be related as
that of the late melancholy loss at Whitby.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—The great injury inflicted on many
invalids by drugs increases the interest the public take in
Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, which cures without
medicine. We quote a few out of many thousand cases of
cures by the delicious Food. Cure No. 180.—" Twenty-
five years nervousness, constipation, indigestion, and de-
bility from which I have suffered great misery, and which
no medicine could remove or reliave, have been effectually
cured by Da Barry's Food in a very short time. W. B.
Reeves, 181, Fleet-street, London." Cure 4,208.—" Eight
years dyspepsia, nervousness, debility, with cramps, spasms,
and nausea, for which my servant had consulted the advice
of many, have been effectually cured by Du Barry's Health
Restoring Food. I shall be happy to answer any inquiries.
Rev. John W. Flavell, Ridlington Rectory, Norfolk."

rious and injurious imitations offered under a variety of
false pretences. Nevill's imitations are prohibited by the
high Court of Chancery under a penalty of £5,000 against

that Nevill has a patent for Aral:lc:a Food and that Du
Barry's are connected with such patent are utterly fake.
