MABLETHORPE.—The barge Paragon, of Milton, Faversham, was observed in distress during a fresh E. breeze, squally weather and a moderate sea on the 13th August. She was trying to beat off the lee shore off Trusthorpe pier, but being unable to do so she anchored just clear of the breakers. As she appeared to be dragging her anchors, the Heywood Lifeboat was launched at 11 A.M., and at the master's request remained by the vessel for an hour or so until the seas began to break over her, when the master, his wife, and two children were taken into the boat and landed, leaving four of the Life-boat men and the crew of two men on board the barge. At low water they came ashore in the vessel's boat. The barge afterwards became a total wreck..
