GOELBSTON.—The No. 1 Life-boat, the Mark Lane, was launched at 1.45 P.M. on the 17th of January, during a strong S.E.

by E. wind and a heavy sea, to the assistance of the s.s. Speedwell, of Yarmouth, which had grounded on the North Sand while attempting to enter' the harbour.

The Life-boat laid out an anchor, and ran a hawser from the south pier-head to the steamer; but in doing so she was cast on the sand, and driven ashore by the force of the tide. The No. 2 Lifeboat, the Leicester, then went out and remained by the vessel until she floated, and was got safely into harbour..
