SCARBOROUGH.—The dandy Vivid, of Scarborough, bound from West Hartlepool for Woodbridge with coal, being caught by a gale from the E.S.E. and a very heavy sea off Plamborough Head, on the llth March, returned to Scarborough and attempted to take the harbour before there was sufficient water, the master being afraid to put her round to wait in consequence of the very heavy sea. She caught the ground outside, and was driven on to the beach about 250 yards from the entrance of the harbour. The Life-boat Qwenslury was launched at 11 A.M., and brought safely ashore the crew of three men. She afterwards conveyed the pier hawser to the vessel to save her, but this was found to be of no avail..
