Sharon's Rose

WELLS, NORFOLK.—The brig Sharon's Rose, of Whitby, bound from Shields to Dieppe with coal, was seen to run on the beach at Holkham, during a strong breeze from N.N.E. and a very heavy sea, at about 1 P.M. on the 29th October. The Eliza Adams Life-boat proceeded to her aid, and succeeded in rescuing the crew, numbering seven men. The Boat was then taken in tow by the steam-tug Promise, of Wells, and the shipwrecked men were safely landed at Wells Quay..
