Atlanta, of Kirkwall

On the 10th December, during a fresh gale from S.S.E.

and heavy cross-sea, the schooner Atlanta, of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands, after striking on the Barber Sands, on the Nor- folk coast, went ashore on Hasborough outer bank. The Huddersfield life-boat, stationed at Hasborough, at once went off and suc- ceeded in rescuing the master and 3 of the vessel's crew. The following morning the vessel was got off the bank, but owing to a sudden change of wind, she was again driven ashore, and the same life-boat went off and brought ashore the remainder of the crew, consisting of 3 men, and also 4 beachmen who had assisted in getting her off the bank..
