PAKEFIELD, SUFFOLK.—The brigantine Bertha, of Rye, stranded in Pakefield Gat, during a S.W. wind and heavy sea, on the 26th August. In reply to her signal of distress, the Life-boat Two Sisters Mary and Hannah was launched and proceeded to her, in tow of the Lowestoft steam-tug.

On arriving alongside it was found that the vessel was full of water, and her crew, consisting of six men, were thereupon taken into the Life-boat and brought safely ashore..
