LOWESTOFT.—Flares having been seen N.E. of the Newcome Sands, during a strong N.W. wind and a rough sea, on the night-of the 25th November, the Life-boat Two Sisters Mary and Hannah went out at 10 o'clock, and found the sloop Richard and Francis, of Goole, laden with tiies, from Hull for Lowestoft, in the midst of the breakers. She had lost some of her sails, and those which were Jeft were split, but it being the top of the tide, and an extra high one, she managed to drift over the sand, the Life-boat remaining by her, and was towed into the harbour by the steam-tug Dispatch..
