HARWICH.—At about 10 A.M. on the 13th November the steam Life-boat Duke of Northumberland was called out and proceeded with the Reserve No. 3 Lifeboat in tow to the upper part of the Long Sand, where the three-masted schooner Christine Elisabeth, of Haugesund, bound from Rotterdam for Moluccas, East Indies, with a general cargo, was found stranded.

A pilot cutter and a steam-tug were Jyiag abreast of her; and the master and mate of the schooner were found to be in the tug's boat which also contained the master of the cutter and a pilot, the remainder of the ship's crew, four men, being on board the pilot cutter. The four men in the tag's boat were taken on board the steam Life-boat, The Lifeboat men then got on board the vessel, worked at the pumps, and prepared hex for towing off at the next tide. At midnight the schooner was towed off, and was taken between the Cork and Bough Buoys, when the weather became very foggy, rendering it necessary to anchor until daybreak, when the fog cleared off. The vessel was then got under weigh, and Harwich was reached at 8.80 A.M..
