Aldina, of London

On the 14th December the schooner Adina, of London, was totally wrecked during a strong gale from the S.W. and heavy sea, near the East Holm Buoy, on the Gorton Sand, off Lowestoft.

The Lcetitia life-boat at the latter place was launched and succeeded in saving the whole of the vessel's crew, 8 in number.

The sea broke very heavily over the schooner, and she soon afterwards went to pieces. The neighbouring life-boat, the Sisters, at Pakefield, also went off with the view of rendering assistance to the same vessel..
