About half-past 7 o'clock, P.M., on the 4th October last, during a gale from S.E., signal lights were seen off the Scroby Sand. The Caister life-boat was again launched, and in about an hour from the time the signals were seen she arrived at the spot thus indicated, and found a brig in the middle of the Scroby Sand— she was full of water, with her rudder gone, and the sea breaking completely over her. The beachmen  having boarded the vessel, at once commenced working at the pumps; but after labouring hard at them for about an hour, they were compelled to leave the vessel, taking with them the crew of 9 men, whom they landed in safety at about 11.30, P.M. The following day the beach- men, finding that the vessel was still on the Sand, again went off in the life-boat, and finally succeeded in getting her off, and in taking her into Lowestoft Harbour. The brig proved to be the Harlingtan, of Sunder- land, laden with railway sleepers.
