REuARKARLR ADVENTURE.
PERnOUS EXPERIMENT WITH A NEW PAT
ENT LIFE BOAT.

Some weeks since most extraordinary
adventure with life boats, of a new con-
struction, occurred ~ Valentia, on the
southwest coast of Ireland. The boats
had the usual appearance of the ordinary
whale boat, and were built in London
and taken TO Nalentia, to await suita-
BILE opportunity to test their abilities the
coast in that vicinity being often more
boisterous than any of the British wa
ters The day came, the Goth ofNovem-
Der. The barometer had sunk to 90 90,
the force of the wind marked 10, with a
tremendous sea running and breaking
wildly on the headlands of Dingle Bay
Everything was considered suitable for
trial of the boats. They are FIVE cared
boats, with air tight compartments, and
clearing valves for discharging the wa
ter
Mr.. Forests boat was manned by the
cox-wain aud five of the local crew who
are in training for large national life
boat just presented by an English lady.
The other boat was manned by a coast
guard crew, and steered by the inspect
ing officer. Both crews were provided
with Captain Wards life belts
Within the harbor all was compare
lively smooth, vessels riding easily at
their anchors, but the gale was so strong
that the boats made Roadway with great
difficulty, the wind sometimes blow
ing the oars out of the rowlocks up over
the mems heads in spite of their utmost
efforts to keep them down. Slow pro-
gress was thus made towards a passage
leading ont into wild bay, called Leugh
Bay,-which lies outside the harbor of
Valentia to the North Here the sea was
running mountain high, and it became
evident that no boat of any description
could live long under it.
Mr. White, however, being still deter
mined to try the boats, made his ina lar.
Yangemsnts for bold expert ment. He
directed the boat which accompanied
him to lie in comparative shelter under
Lamb island Ga small grassy island sew
snty-eight feet high, over which the sea
was making a full breach) so that she
might watch tho fate of her consort, and
render assistance if possible. Then with
his own coastguard crew, he dashed out
into the bay, watching each tremendous
roller and rounding her to meet it,
