On the 10th Oct., the large Life-boat on this station put off, in reply to signals of distress, during a heavy gale from the S.S.W., and found the brig Eglantine, of Whitby, in a disabled state near the Cockle Lightship. She had broken from her anchor, and fouled another ship; and when the Life-boat reached her, she found she had carried away her toasts and was encumbered with the wreck of the masts and rigging. Four of the crew had taken refuge on the Lightship, leaving only the captain and a boy on board the brig.

The Life-boat took the 4 men back, and,with the help of a steamer, she afterwards succeeded in taking the vessel and crew safely into Yarmouth Harbour.
