Corbon, of Newcastle

About four o'clock on the morning of the 7th April, the steamer Carbon, of New- castle, was observed in an unmanageable state, and drifting about with the tide, in the direction of the Cockle Sand. The weather was hazy and the wind fresh from E.N.E. The Caister life-boat put off, and, with the assistance of the Scratby life-boat, the vessel was brought safely into Yarmouth Roads.
