THE LATE GALE.  The smack Arbitrator, of Wexford, while proceeding to the Lucifer lightship, Wexford, with stores, on Saturday, was seen to hoist signals of distress. Accordingly the Civil Service Lifeboat of the National Life Boat Institution proceeded out to her, and found the vessel stranded. She then took off the crew of five men and the captain, and two of the crew of the light ship. The master of the smack, however, remained on board, and while the lifeboat was waiting for him his vessel began to move. Thereupon some of the crew of the lifeboat boarded her, hoisted sail, and remained with her until she was in safety. A vessel was seen with signals of distress flying close to the breakers on the north-east Cockle Sand, near Great Yarmouth,. on Sunday, during bad weather. The Caister large lifeboat belonging to the Lifeboat Society quickly went off to her, and with the aid of a steamer, rescued her and her crow from imminent peril. In boarding the vessel—which was the brig Wanderer, of Whitby—one of the lifeboat men fell between the ship and the lifeboat, and was with difficulty rescued, another man was also badly bruised in a similar manner. The Ramsgate lifeboat Bradford, and steam-tug Vulcan, went out on Sunday night, during a strong S.S.E. in reply to signals front the Gull Light Ship. On speaking the vessel the lifeboatmen were informed that a largo flare light had been seen from a ship on shore on tho Goodwin Sands, and after proceeding round the back of the Sands, the lifeboat found the schooner Marinj, of Terno, bound from Hamburgh to Port Legro, with a general cargo, stranded there. The sea was breaking heavily over her, but fortunately, as the tide flowed, the steamer and lifeboatjwere enabled to extricate her, and bring her safely into harbour.
