The moment the accident took place, boats were launched in all directions in the harbour, and the most praiseworthy efforts made to rescue those exposed from impending danger ; when brought on shore, they were in a state of great exhaustion, but were promptly visited by*the medical gentlemen of the place, and their exertions were attended with success.
