On the 27th of December, the Norwegian bark, William, of Tonsberg, ran ashore in thick and squally weather, near Camber, about three miles on the north side of Eye Harbour. The life-boat at No. 31 Tower, on the .opposite side of the harbour, was launched, and succeeded in about an hour in reaching the bark and taking off her crew of twelve persons. She shortly after became a total wreck. The life-boat was manned on the occasion by the Coast-guard in whose charge she is.

The sum of II. each was awarded to them by the Institution for this service.
