The fishing lugger Bee, of Winterton, with three men on board, went out in the morning of the 5th April. The wind backed to the S.E. in the afternoon, and a heavy sea set in rendering it impossible for the boat to land. She was watched from the shore for some time, and at about 4.30 her crew hoisted a signal for help.

The Winterton No. 1 Life-boat Edward BirKbeck at once put off to her assistance, and brought the crew safely to land at 6 o'clock..
