Rosita
HARWICH.— On the 6th January, at about 7.30 A.M., a brigantine was seen ashore on the Ealliday Sands with a flag of distress flying. In a short time she drifted on to Pye Sand, where the masts were cut away. The Life-boat Springwell proceeded to her aid and found her to be sinking. Seven of the crew and a woman were taken into the Life-boat, but the master, mate, and boatswain, refused to leave. These eight persons were landed at midday, and as the weather continued exceedingly rough the boat returned for the others. The sea was then making clean breaches over the vessel, and' the three men therefore left her and were brought safely ashore by the Life-boat.
The vessel .proved to be the Spanish schooner Rosita, bound from Hamburg to Porto Eico, with a general cargo..
