Again, on the night of the 26th October, a vessel was seen apparently in a dangerous position near the Barber Sands, off Glister.

Some of the beachmen went off in one of their yawls, and found the vessel to be the brig Richmond Packet, of Middlesborough, with a crew of 7 hands. She was fast on the safld, with the sea breaking over her.

The beachmen in the first instance found it impossible to render any assistance with the yawl. They therefore hailed the poor fellows on the wreck, and told them they would return to the shore for the life-boat.

This they accordingly did, and taking them from the wreck, brought them safely ashore.

Although the Caister life-boat had been condemned, the beachmen hesitated not to go off in her to the rescue of shipwrecked crews. A new life-boat is now being built for the Caister station..
