Harkaway and Wilhelmina

On the 14th November, at 2.30 P.M., the Life-boat proceeded to the brig Harkaway, of Shoreham, which was riding to the southward of the harbour with a flag for assistance. The Life-boat assisted to get a rope from her to a tug, and slipped her anchors, and she was then towed safely into Lowestoft Harbour. The boat then went to the brigantine Wilhelmina, of Exeter, and assisted in slipping her anchors, after which she also was towed into the harbour. The wind was blowing a strong gale from the E.N.E., accompanied by a very heavy sea at the time..
