Trusty, of Boston

Another rescue was effected at this life- boat station on the 19th October. The schooner Trusty, of Boston, was stranded off Runton about a mile and a-half eastward of Sheringham Beach. It was blowing a fearful gale from the N.N.E. at the time.

The life-boat put off as soon as it was seen that the schooner mast inevitably go ashore; she found the crew in the rigging, the seas having completely cleared the vessel's deck, at times hiding her from view. She suc- ceeded in taking off the crew of 3 men, and in landing them in safety.
