On the 25th of February the brig Oswy, of Shoreham, being at anchor in a perilous position in the roads off Lowe- stoft, her crew hoisted signals of distress, when a yawl launched and proceeded to her aid, putting 6 hands on board to assist in getting her into the harbour. The gale, however, rapidly increased, and the lives of all on board the brig being placed in danger, the Lowestoft life-boat went to their rescue, and brought the whole, namely, 6 belonging to tile vessel and 6 boatmen, safely to the shore. The brig afterwards became a total wreck. The life-boat was in this instance towed out and ashore again by the Lowestoft tug-steamer.
