exciting pursuit along the coast, station
after station of the coast guard being
notified to be on the lookout for the ves-
sci in distress, the steamer was finally
driven ashore and made out to be the
Rose, of Aberdeen. The steamer went
ashore near Spreeton Cliff. where the
coast guardsmen managed to fire a
rocket over her, and the crew hauling
the breeches buoy tackle on board, they
were rescued just as the steamer seemed
upon the
POINT OF BREAKING UP.
The coast guardsmen had hardly got
the men belonging to the Rose ashore
through the boiling surf, when. at about
O'Clock in the morning. the Norwegian
three-masted vessel Armie was driven
ashore by the fearful sea and wind pre-
vailing, and began to pound to pieces
On the rocks, the seas making clean
sweep over her and washing the crew
overheard, one after another, only the
mate out of the crew being saved.
The fishing boat Vine, during the
gale, capsized entirely off Scarborough
and was lost to sight, while thousands
of people saw the crew struggle ter
rlbly in the waves and sink,
after being completely exhausted.
Two soldiers attempted to cross Ports
down hill, near Portsmouth yesterday
evening and were found dead in the
snow today. The Holyhead coast
guardsmen, at a great risk to them
selves, succeeded in rescuing twenty
seven men from five vessels, which have
been stranded there up to today.
The Vine, which capsized Off Scar
borough, had a crew of eight men on
board of her,all of whom were drowned.
The gale continues today, and reports
tonight say that there are no signs of
its abating. 1t is now said that six
vessels were stranded off Holyhead and
that two of them were afterwards
fioated. The others are expected to be
COMPLETE WRECKS.
In addition, six vessels have been
seen showing signals of distress, and
two OF the latter have already found
cred. The steamer wrecked off Banff
is believed to be the Moray, as much
wreckage from steamer bearing that
name branded or painted upon it has
been washed ashore. The trawler
Dauntless has been wrecked at Down
reay, near Thurse, Caithness. Scotland.
and seven of her crew of eight were
drowned. Several other trawlers
have been driven ashore near
the same spot, and are eX
pected to become total wrecks. 1t is
impossible at this hour to give in detail
the number and descriptions of the
wrecks or the damage done to houses
and property; but the latest reports are
that the gale now shows some signs
of abating. The packet boat Kill
larney, from Milford arrived at
Cork today and reports that when flf-
teen miles out, on Friday morning, she
sighted the disabled National line
steamer Helyetia. showing signals of
distress. The Killarney stood by the
Helvetia for five hours, but was unable.
owing to the tremendous sea, to take
her instow, and was obliged to leave her
to her fate. Dispatches from Calais say
that terrific gale has been blowing
there, aud that telegraphic communica-
tion has been interrupted. 1t is added
that twenty-five fishing boats have al
ready been driven ashore, and that
thirteen fishermen have been drowned.
Reports received here from all parts of
the north of France, say that the most
severe weaeher has prevailed along that
coast, and that there have been many
wrecks near Havre, Cherbourg and
Fecamp. Telegraphic communication
throughout England is interrupted.
