CAISTER.—On the 9th. November, at about 9.45 A.M., the barque Augia, of Guernsey, with her main top-gallant yard hoisted and her starboard bow stove in, was seen in the Cockle Gat, she having been in collision with a sloop off Orfordness.

The No. 2 Life-boat, the God-send, put off to her assistance, and with the aid of a steamer the barque was taken into harbour. She carried a crew of 10 men.

On the 12th November this Life-boat was taken out to the help of two vessels which had stranded on the Barber Sands. A heavy sea was breaking on the sands at the time. The first vessel reached by the Life-boat was the brig Craigs, of Whitby; she had only a little Dutch boy on board, the rest of the crew having gone on board the other brig, with which their vessel had been in collision. Having put 3 or 4 of the crew of the Life-boat on board with the boy, the boat then went to the other vessel, the Lily, of Guernsey.

Ultimately, with the aid of steam-tugs, they succeeded in taking both vessels into Yarmouth harbour..
