WINTERTON.—Flares having been reported by the Coast Guard, at about 11 P.M. on the 4th of April, the No. 2 Life-boat, the Husband, was launched, proceeded in the direction in which the signals had been seen, and found there had been a collision between two fishing cutters, and that one of them, named the W. H. M., of Yarmouth, had sunk. The crew, of six men, had taken refuge on the other vessel, the Hettie, of Ramsgate, which was at anchor in a dangerous position.

After repairing damage, she sailed to the south at daylight; the crew of the sunken vessel having in the meantime been taken off by the Life-boat, which landed them at Winterton at 2.30 A.M.
