EFFECTED JUST IN TIME. A rather plucky rescue was effected by three members of tho crew of the schooner Clyde on Tuesday morning. The schooner is at present, ami lias been for about a wee!;, lying in the stream waiting for a mate. At about a rjunrte-i' past eight on the morning mentioned, .Mr. M'.iy, a member of the rrew, sighted two men clinging io a boat, filled wih water, r. May at onco ordered a boat- to be lowered, and sent throe moil after lliem. A southerly gale was raging at the time, which made the work very strenuous. The rescued men informed their rescuers that they belonged to hulk No. 7, and that they 'had been capBized by the gain and sea. The Clyde's' men took them to their hulk, and later on tho Riwaka .took tho rescuers back to their ship. A witness of this rescue states that if it had not been for the action of tlie crew of the Clyde the men would almost certainly have keen drowned.
