Clipper of Great Yarmouth
On the night of the 24th January, dating a heavy gale from S.S.W., guns were heard from the St.
Nicholas Light Vessel, and rockets were thrown up, indicating a vessel in distress.
The crew of the large life-boat were soon mustered, and promptly put off in the boat, and found the smack Clipper, of Great Yarmouth, riding on the edge of the Scroby Sand, with one cable only. The life-boat veered down, and, with great diffi- culty, succeeded in bringing the vessel and her crew of 6 men safely into harbour..
