Hermann
On the 28th January, at 3 A.M., signal lights were seen in the direction of the Barber Sand. A yawl proceeded there and found the schooner Hermann, of Berwick, bound from Hull to London with deal boards, ashore., As it was feared that the sea would increase with the flood tide, the wind being easterly, signals were made for the Life-boat to come and remain by the vessel. The No. 2 Life-boat accordingly proceeded out at about 4.30 A.M., and stayed by the schooner until 1 P.M., when the crew of 6 men were taken ashore by the Life-boat, the master and mate deciding to remain on board. The Boat returned to the vessel, which was then dismantled and was got off on the next flood tide..
