At 7 A.M.

on the 3rd December, intelligence was treceived that a large vessel was ashore in Druridge Bay. The crew of the Algernon and Eleanor Life-boat were at once called together, horses were sent for, and the Life-boat with great difficulty, as the tide was at nearly high water and the sands were very soft, was taken by land to the scene of the wreck. She was then launched, and proceeded to the vessel, which was found to be the s.s. Amulet, of and from Rotterdam to Leith, with a general cargo.

The boat remained for some time by the steamer, and landed the stewardess and a passenger. The captain and crew (nineteen men in all) remained on board for a time; but as the wind and sea increased, they were ultimately taken off by the Life-boat..
