CAISTER, NORFOLK.—On the evening of Sunday, 16th January, a letter was re-ceived by a messenger from Palling, stating that two ships were on the Hasborough Sand. A steam-tug was obtained from Great Yarmouth, and the Caister No. 2 Life-boat, Godsend, started at about four o'clock on the following morning.

On arriving at the Sand the barque North Wales, of London, bound from Newcastle to Java with coal, was found ashore there.

The steam-tug endeavoured to tow her off at the flood tide, but could not succeed.

At ebb tide the vessel filled, and, as the sea was increasing, her crew of twenty men and a pilot were taken off by the Life-boat and put on board the steamer..
