On the night of the 30th December, signals of distress were seen burning from a vessel off this place.

The wind was blowing fresh from the East, and a heavy sea running. The Parsee life- boat put off and assisted, after ten hours' exertions, in getting the vessel out of her dangerous position. She proved to be the schooner Naiad, of Colchester, bound from Sunderland to Colchester, with coals. The neighbouring life-boat at Hasborough, the Huddersfield, was likewise got in readiness and conveyed along the shore, but she was not required to be launched..
