LOWESTOFT.—On the 8th October, at about noon, signals of distress were shown by a vessel outside the Holm Sand. A moderate gale from the N. was blowing at the time. The No. 1 Life-boat, Samuel Plimsoll, was launched, and on getting alongside the vessel it was found that she was the brig Hope, of Hartlepool, bound from Gothenburg to Poole, with a cargo of deals and boards. She was nearly water-logged, and had 8 persons on board, there being 3 of a smack's crew in her in addition to her own crew. It was eventually decided to run the vessel to Harwich, where she arrived about 1 A.M..
