On this occasion, no other boat would have lived in the sea; arid at a place where so many sere ks happen, this ingenious invention may be the means of saving many valuablelieese It would be endless to recount the traits of heroism exhibited by individuals in the hue ;iron ; two instances have, Inv:ever, come to our it vivre ledge, which we cannot forbear to state to the public ; both instances occurred on board the retry, and both the persons b !longed to that ever-gallant and meritorious bode, the Royal Marine Corps.— A corporal, in the middle of the adios, had hi. arm carried off by a cannon shot ; he hound the stump amend with the sash of no officer who had been killed, spirited up a party to board the enemy, and was lienself at the head of that party, aid Cie first that was on boa: d the opposing ship —.l. private marine was at the point of firing his musket, whir his left arm was struck oE by .. ball ; he afterward. fired of his piece. and went, unattended. to th. cock-pit, carrying his musket with ben in his sigh band.
