At daylight, on ( the 6th February, after it had been blow- j ing a fresh gale all night, a schooner was j observed, about six miles from this place, with a flag of distress in the rigging. The Life-boat Sisters promptly went to her aid, and found she was a very old vessel, the Frances, of Cardigan, and that her sails were split; besides which, she was in a leaky condition, and her crew in a most ex- hausted state. Some of the Life-boat men then went on board, and worked hard at the pumps; and ultimately the schooner, in tow of the Life-boat, was got safely into Lowestoft Harbour..
