On the following day a brig was seen burning tar-barrels very near the breakers on Yarmouth Beach, during a fresh wind from E. by S. The Yarmouth No. 2 Life- boat, the Duff, was at once taken to the spot, and, after much difficulty, was launched through the surf, and, on reach- ing the vessel, took out the crew, and rode some distance from the ship, until 4 o'clock the next morning, when a steam- tug came out of the harbour, and after the crew had again been put on board the vessel, she was towed into harbour.

She proved to be the brig Azela, of Blyth..
