CAISTER, NORFOLK.—On the 7th March, at 1.30 P.M., a barque was seen to go ashore on the Scroby Sand. A strongS.W. wind was blowing at the time, and there was a heavy sea on the sand. The Life-boat Godsend proceeded to her, and found she was the Canmore, of Dundee, bound from Dunkirk to the Tyne in ballast. The master at once engaged the services of the crew to get the vessel off.

The wind and sei ultimately increased very much, and as night came on the Lifeboatmen were afraid that if the barque broke up they would be unable to save the crew with the small boat, and they, therefore, signalled for the large Life-boat the Covent Garden, which was at once launched, and went to the vessel. Fortunately, however, with the aid of the Life-boats and .a steam tug, the vessel was got off the sands, and proceeded to Yarmouth Roads, the large Life-boat accompanying her. The barque had a crew of fifteen men, a woman and a child being also on board..
