WINTERTON, NORFOLK.—Signal guns were fired by the Newarp Lightship on the morning of the 5th May and a vessel with only one mast standing was seen to be drifting on the outer side of the lightship.

The Life-boat Margaret was accordingly launched at 5.30 A.M. and found the vessel was abandoned and full of water.

With the help of a steam-tug she was towed to the beach. She proved to be the brig Agenese, of Sandefjord, bound from Christiania for Plymouth with a cargo of spars and poles. On the previous day she had struck on the " Hammond's Knoll," and as she eventually filled with water her crew were compelled to leave her in order to save their lives. They, therefore, took to their boats and got on board the Wold Light-vessel, from whence they were taken by a smack and landed at Great Yarmouth..
