About 8 A.M., on the 20th March, during a strong gale from the eastward, a schooner was seen to run on .the Newcome Sands. The sea at once broke over her, and the crew hoisted her ensign in the rigging as a signal of dis- tress. The Lowestoft life-boat was im- mediately launched, and, with the assistance of the steam-tug Rainbow, was enabled quickly to close with her, and took out the crew of 7 men, and brought them safely into Lowestoft harbour. The vessel proved to be the Danish schooner Pfeil, of Blankanesse.
