On the night of the 4th November a French chasse-maree, the JSleanore, of Nantes, was driven on shore on the West Sand off Blakeney, the wind blowing hard from N.N.W., and the night hazy. At daylight the vessel was seen from the shore, and the Blakeney life-boat was at once launched to the rescue of the crew.

After an hour's pull the life-boat arrived near the wreck, and found her rolling very heavily, with' the sea breaking over her.

The crew, who were overjoyed at the sight of the life-boat, were only prevented from being washed overboard by an oar lashed across the vessel's rigging. They were soon got into the life-boat, and afterwards safely landed at Blakeney. The Rev. R. H. TlLLARD, the Hon. Sec., reported that the coxswain had told him that the boat had behaved admirably in sailing before the wind, with a heavy sea following her, and in returning to the shore under canvas.
