The schooner Kezia, of Sunderland, having got on shore on the Barber Sand during the night of January 15, blowing fresh from E.N.E., showed signals of distress, which being observed by the Caistor boatmen, they immediately launched the life-boat, and proceeded to her assist- ance. Most fortunately they fell in with the crew, who were leaving the vessel in their own boat at great risk. The life-boat brought the crew of 5 men on shore, the vessel afterwards becoming a total wreck..
