The schooner Major, of Lynn, ran aground at Holme on the morning of the 30th September. ^The Life-boat, Licensed Victualler, was at once despatched to the distressed vessel, and was, fortunately, the means of rescuing the crew, consisting of 3 men and a boy.

The Life-boat behaved admirably in this service, and was excellently managed.

This valuable boat was presented to the Life-boat Society about five years ago by Licensed Victuallers, and she has since that period rescued 36 persons from dif- ferent shipwrecks..
