The Life-boat B. Wood, stationed at this place, went out on the 6th Feb., to rescue the crew and some fishermen who were on board the Nor- wegian ship Martha, which had stranded three days previously off Hornsea. The men were engaged removing tackling and other valuable articles from the vessel by means of a coble. While they were thus occupied, a strong wind from the north-east sprang up, with a heavy surf, rendering the return of the coble impossible. As the tide was rising, and would make a clean sweep over the ship at high water, the men signalled for the Life-boat, which promptly proceeded out to their aid. Great difficulty was experienced in getting near the ship, owing to the strong sea running at the time. This, however, was at length accomplished, and the crew and fishermen, 13 in all, being taken on board the Life- boat, were brought safely to land..
