Eight days afterwards, the same valu- able Life-boat proceeded to the assistance of the ship St. Johanner, of Dantzic, which had gone on the Middle Cross Sand, during a strong wind from the south.

They found the sea was breaking heavily over the stranded vessel, which was full of water, but was kept from sinking by her cargo of deals. The Life-boat managed to near the ship, although the boat was whirled round and round three or four times by the heavy seas while crossing the Sands. Fortunately two steamers came up, and, with their help, the ship was got off the Sands and afterwards taken to London with her crew of 18 men.
