On the 27th October, at abont 7 P.M., the brig Naiad, of Whitby, bound from London to Hartlepool, in ballast, was endeavouring to enter Hartlepool Harbour, but owing to the easterly gale blowing at the time, and a very heavy sea, she stranded on Middleton Beach. The Lifeboat John Clay Barlow put off and remained by her for about two hours, when steam-tugs succeeded in getting her off and towed her safely into harbour..
