On the 10th December, during a heavy gale from S.S.W., the brigantine Ino, of West Hartlepool, was observed making for the shore in an apparently sinking state.

It subsequently appeared that she had been in collision with the lugger Ranger, of Yarmouth. The Duff surf life-boat went out and took off 17 men from the vessel, which included the crew of the lugger, they having gone on board the brigantine. The latter subsequently went ashore opposite the North Star Battery, and became a total wreck. The Mark Lane life-boat was also promptly launched, proceeded to the assist- ance of the two vessels, and ultimately, after some hours' exertions, brought the lugger safely into Yarmouth harbour..
