In answer to signals fired from the North Float Lightship, the No. 2 Life-boat was launched at 11.45 on the 16th March, and proceeded to the Hasborough Sands, where she found the barque Scotia, of Sunderland, bound from Newcastle to Villa Eica with a cargo of coal and coke, ashore. The Life-boat men boarded her, and, with the assistance of a steam-tug and a yawl, anchors were laid out, part of the cargo was thrown overboard, and the vessel was got afloat and taken to Yarmouth Boads in a leaky condition, arriving there at about 4 P.M. on the 18th. She had a crew of 12 men..
