About 7 A.M. on the 3rd November, the same Life-boat launched to the brigantine Harmston, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, which vessel was stranded on the Middle Cross Sand off Caister. A gale from the S.S.E, was blowing, with the usual heavy seas on the beach and off-lying banks. The Life-boat having reached off under sail, anchored in a suitable position, and, after many unsuccessful attempts, succeeded in. establishing communication with the stranded vessel by a heaving-line. The vessel had sunk soon after striking, and the crew had secured themselves in the main rigging. They were now, one by one, drawn through the water to the Life-boat, which at 10 P.M. regained the shore with the 7 rescued men who had formed the crew of the Harmston, Some of those rescued were severely cut and bruised, and their escape was a narrow one, on account of the severity of the gale' and the rapid destruction of the wreck.
