Caroline

LOWESTOFT.—At about 1.30 P.M. on the 3rd of March, the brigantine Caroline, of Faversham, bound from London for the Tyne, with a cargo of burnt ore, and carrying a crew of seven men, was seen to part from her cable in the roadstead, and in trying to get clear of the Newcome Sand, she struck. The wind was blowing from the N.N.E., accompanied by snow squalls and a heavy sea. The vessel floated before the Life-boat reached her, but as she was leaking very badly, the master engaged the services of a steam-tug and the Life-boat to take her into Lowestoft harbour..
