On the morn- ing of the 17th November, during a very strong gale from E.N.E., a torch- light was seen burning as a signal of distress from a vessel ashore on the New- come Sand. The life-boat stationed at this place was at once launched, but in con- sequence of the wind being nearly full on the beach, the boat could not get off for some time. Ultimately she was enabled to proceed to the Sands, where the brigantine Medora, of Yarmouth, was found to have parted from her anchors. The life-boat succeeded in saving 2 out of 5 of the crew, the remainder having been washed over- board, and drowned before her arrival..
