At daybreak on the morning of the 12th December a brig was observed on her broadside off this station, with her crew of 6 men in their boat, a short distance from the vessel. There was a heavy surf breaking on the shore at the time, and, fears being entertained that the crew might attempt to land, signals were made to warn them off; and the Pelican life-boat was then promptly launched to their assist- ance, and brought the shipwrecked crew safely ashore. The vessel's boat was swamped while being towed by the life-boat through the surf. The vessel proved to be the brig George, of Lowestoft, laden with coals.
