Lizzie Bovill, of Newcastle

On the 21st January, at 10 P.M., in a fresh northerly wind and heavy sea, a vessel, which proved to be the barque Lizzie Bovill, of Newcastle, was seen at anchor near the shore in the neighbour- hood of Palling, and burning signals of distress. This Life-boat was once more speedily launched, and took off the crew of 8 men. The master, however, having determined to remain by his ship, the Life- boat returned to her, and remained along- side until the following forenoon, when, with the further aid of a steam-tug, the vessel was got under weigh, and taken into Yarmouth Harbour..
