DREADFUL STORM AT BRIGHTON

(From the Times of Yesterday.)
BRIGHTON, SUNDAY AFTERNOON, NOV. 15
was visited on Friday by one of the severest gales
remembered here, being little less violent than that which a
few years ago occasioned so much damage to our pier.
We regret that three vessels laden with coals were driven
on shore a short distance from the town,—the whole of the
crews were, however, saved.

This coast

DeLween one and two 0-Clock a prig was seen maul
windward off the town, and danger being apprehended

officers and men of the Coast Guard at the Brighton station
followed her along shore, provided with a supply of Dennett's
rockets and Captain Manby's mortar for communicating with
stranded vessels. Her topmast was carried away by the gale
and the mainmast was immediately cut away by the crew.
She then drifted towards Black Rock, where an anchor was
let go, but the chain cable was immediately snappedasunder,
and she came on shore at about four o'clock, under the cliffs,
three-quarters of a mile eastward of Kemp-town. Cap-
tain Marsh, of the Bearshide Coast Guard station, Lieut.
Pratt, of the Brighton station, Lieutenant Prior, of the
Greenway station, and Lieutenant Newnham, of the Black
Rock station, with all their men, were speedily on the spot,
which was soon covered with thousands of spectators. The
water was at this time raging at the foot of the cliffs, and a
communication was endeavoured to be effected with the
vessel, which was only a short distance from the shore,
by means of the rockets and mortar, the former of which
was used under the direction of Lieutenant Pratt, the lat-
ter under that of Lieutenant Prior. The wind, how-
ever, blew with such force that the projectiles had hardly
left the spot from which they were fired than they were car-
ried inland. The crew then made a line fast to a buoy,
which being washed on shore, and the tide being now some-
what on the ebb, the rope was made fast, and one of the crew
reached the shore by this means at about five o'clock. The
others, seven in number, remained in the vessel till about 7,
when the water was sufficiently low to allow them to wade to
the shore. They were kindly attended to at the Black
Rock station. The brig proved to be the Mary, of Sunder-
land, burden 130 tons, Captain Kemp, bound to Shoreham),
with a cargo of coals.

In the mean time, however, the attention of the party on
the cliff had become divided by the arrival of a schooner,
which at about six o'clock was driven on shore about 200
yards to the east of the spot where the brig was wrecked.
The schooner had been on shore about an hour when intel-
ligence was received that another brig was stranded at Porto-
bello, about four miles further to the eastward.
Intelligence has reached Brighton that on Friday night a
vessel laden with wine went down near the Cheers Lights,
off Bognor, and that the crew escaped as by a miracle, after
being at sea in their boat for several hours.
