Pallas of Shields

On the night of the 24th January, the brig Pallas, of Shields, stranded on the Sizewell Bank, in a strong gale from S.S.E., at daylight: being seen from the shore, the Thorpe life-boat proceeded to her, through a very high sea, and succeeded in taking off 3 of her crew. Her master and 3 others had unfortunately previously taken to their own boat, and the boat upsetting, they were all drowned.
