The last service rendered at the Caister Life-boat station in 1872 was that on the 10th Dec., by the Boys Life-boat, when she proceeded out, during a gale from E.N.E., to the aid of the brig Pallion, of Sunderland, which had been fouled by another vessel. With the aid of a steamer, the Life-boat succeeded in getting the brig and her crew of 8 men safely into Lowestoft Harbour. While she was pro- ceeding with that ship, signals of distress were shown from another vessel, the Lady Douglas, of London, which had sprung a leak, and had several feet of water in her hold, fortunately the Life-boat, being close at hand, went to her assistance reached her just in time, and, with the aid of a steamer, succeeded in getting ler and her crew of 6 men safely into harbour.
