The ill-fated craft was at length driven on the Sands, to the westward of the BelL/buby, and the crew- the master (F. Gillard) and a seaman— took to the rigging ; each wave breaking over tbe vessel. ,In this perilous situation the unfortunate mariners' < remained till daylight on Tuesday morning, when they were observed from the Pilot Station. The Pilot's orew immediately put off to their assistance, and after seven hours' exposure the shipwrecked men were rescued. -The ketch will probably be recovered;
