On the night of April 12th, signals of distress were ob- served on the North Gare Sand, at the en- trance to the River Tees, the wind from the S.E. with a high sea on. The Seaton Carew life-boat was at once launched and taken to the spot; when they found the signals to have proceeded from the brig Regalia, of Whitby, which had driven over the bank and stranded on the shore. The life-boat took off her crew, 7 in number, and landed them in safety. The coxswain of this life- boat, ROBERT HOOD, having been no less than forty-three times engaged in this and the former Seaton Carew life-boat in assist- ing the crews of wrecked vessels, and many of those occasions being since his appoint- ment to the coxswainship of the present boat, the Institution awarded him its Silver Medal for his long and valuable services, in addition to the usual pecuniary payment on this occasion..
