GORLESTON. — In spite of the very stormy condition of the weather on the 7fch October, the wind blowing a strong gale from the S.W., and the sea being very heavy, a zaaa went out in a small boat from the shore, with the intention of boarding a vessel lying in the roads.

Subsequently he was observed, in the middle of the roadstead, drifting helplessly towards the Scroby Sands, having lost both his oars. The Life-boat Mark Lane, which was lying afloat, having been previously called out on service during the morning, at once proceeded out and rescued the man, who was then about a hundred yards only from the broken water. A Lowestoft trawler had made three attempts to reach him, but had been unsuccessful..
