The sea in the Channel was very heavy, and all boat communication between Spiihead and the shore was prohibited by signal from the Dockyard Semaphore Sta- tion. About three o'clock a collier schooner broke from her moorings while anchored astern of the Victory, and Was driven by the strength of the gale across the stern quarter of the flag-ship; but owing to the prompt assist- ance sent from the ship to the schooner no damage was done.
