Gallant Rescue.

The special correspondent OF the London
Standard gives the following account OF q
noble deed done recently at san Sebastian !:
"An act Of great bravery was performed
here when the storm which has Just visited
this coast was at It's height. The British
steamer Caldra, OF Newport, struck on the
rocks and in few minutes became 4
wreck at the mouth OF the port OF Los
Passages. Immediately boats were sent
from the Spanish gunboat ConcoTdia and
the French gunboat Elan, and three
Basque tishing-boats also fastened to the
rescue. The sea was breaking mountains
high and the rain falling in torrents. From
the wreck the cries of sixteen English sea-
men were heard. The reScuing boats ap-
preached, and, between two seas, dashed
into the steamer. They had saved twelve
men. when heavy wave torethe wrecked
steamer in two. The stern disappeared
and on the forecastle stood four bali
drowned men. who were speedily swept
into the serge. The boats made another
attempt to save them, but large wave
capsized the boats OF the French and
Spanish gunboatS, and thrilling scene
ensued for few minutes. with thirty-onc
sailors and officers struggling for their
lives. until the gallant Basque fishermen in
the remaining boats rescued twenty-eight
men. Three EngliShmen, who were too
exhausted to keep up, persisted. The
survivors received every attention from
both the French and Spanish gunboats
and from Vice-COnsel Brunei"
