On the 31st De- cember the schooner Lion, of Goole, laden with wheat, was observed making for this harbour. There was a heavy gale of wind blowing from E.N.E. at the time, with snow showers. There being very little water on the bar, signals were made to the vessel to run for the beach. In the meantime the Lucy life-boat was promptly manned and launched, and, upon the schooner striking, she took off the crew of 4 men and a boy, and afterwards landed them in safety.
