Gleaner

The Life-boat Duncan was launched from this station at 6 A.M. on the 10th October last, and rescued 2 men from a perilous position on board the fishing smack Gleaner. A sudden storm had compelled a number of < fishing vessels, riding at anchor off Sher- ! ingham, to proceed to sea. In getting under weigh the Gleaner and Reaper came i into collision. The crew of the former, expecting their craft to founder, got on board the Reaper with the exception of 2 men, and the Gleaner then went drifting \ off to leeward in a disabled state with 2 men only on board, the Life-boat took off both the men and placed them on board the other vessel..
