CAISTER, NORFOLK.—On the 25th March, at 7 A.M., a man arrived at Caister from Winterton, and reported that a dismasted vessel was lying just outside Hasborough Sand, and that the sea at Winterton was so heavy that the Life-boat there could not be launched. The Caister No. 1 Lifeboat — the Covent Garden — was, with much risk and labour, more than 40 men assisting, then hauled through the surf, and proceeded through a very heavy sea in the direction of Winterton.

On arriving at the wreck a large steamer was found to be lying by her, but she was unable to render any assistance. The Life-boat, with great difficulty and risk, sailed alongside and succeeded in rescuing the crew, 7 in number. The vessel was the brig Cito, of Arendal, bound thence toCalais with a cargo of deals. Her masts had been carried away, the spars, &c., hanging all about the vessel; her sternpost had been completely knocked out, and the sea was breaking heavily over her, the deck being level with, if not under, the surface of the water. On the following morning, the weather having moderated, the Life-boat again proceeded out, and with the aid of a steam-tug, the wreck was taken to Caister and beached there..
