BLAKKNBY, NOBFOLK.—The Eettie Lifeboat was launched at about 10 P.M. on the 25th November, signal rockets having been seen indicating a ship in distress on the West Sand. On reaching the spot the Life-boat found H.M.S. Beaver stranded.

The Life-boatmen rendered all the assistance in their power, remained by the vessel during the night, and on the following morning brought ashore eight of the crew, the remainder being landed by another boat..
