On the 8th April, the brigantine Douglas, of Guernsey, sprung a leak, and afterwards exhibited signals of distress in Pakefield Eoads, during a very strong gale from the N.E. The Sisters life- boat put out, took off 7 of the vessel's crew, and safely landed them. She afterwards went off again, and, with the assistance of a steam-tug, freed the vessel from water, and towed her into Lowestoft..
