One seized a rope and got on board again. The other had the lifebuoy thrown him, and supported himself nntil rescued in a very exhausted state. Yesterday in the Straits, while tacking off Wellington Head with a fresh soath-west wind, it suddenly died away, and as the flood tide was making very strong, the vessel waa nsarly carried on the rooks, Captain Parker got the
anchors all ready to let go, but fortunately a light breeze off the land came and oartied the Haloione olear by about a cable's length.
