Celine

On the 18th March theLife-boat Lcetitia saved the crew of the schooner Celine, which -was wrecked on the Holm Sand in a strong N.B. gale.

The master having refused to abandon his vessel, the Life-boat had to return to the shore without him. Later in the day, however, the master having abandoned all hope, it became necessary to make an effort to save him; the then state of the tide prevented the use of the Lcetitia, but the Lowestoft No. 2 Life-boat, the George, went off and landed him safely..
