On the 5th January, the brig Tennant, of Stockton, ran on shore, in a severe snow-storm, on the Newcome Sand.

She was quickly seen from the shore, and the Lowestoft life-boat was immediately manned and launched, under the super- intendence of Captain JOACHIM, R.N., who proceeded in her to the wreck.

On reaching the spot, the anchor was let go to windward, and the life-boat veered down to the vessel, over which the sea was breaking heavily. Half the brig's crew were soon got into the boat, when, in a tremendous squall, her cable parted. A strong rope was however secured to the brig, and the remainder of her crew were got into the boat. The master having been washed overboard, was nearly drowned.

The reputation of this life-boat has been long established, and she behaved in her usual admirable manner on this occasion.
