BRANCASTER, NORFOLK.—At daybreak on the 10th August, while a moderate N.E. breeze was blowing, with considerable ground swell, the s.s. Mogador, of London, was seen about nine miles north of Brancaster.

She showed no signal; but as her position was evidently critical, the crew Of the Life-boat Lily Bird were summoned and eventually it was decided to launch the boat and proceed to the steamer. Soon after the boat had put off the vessel made signals for assistance.

When the boat reached her she was afloat, the tide having risen; but she had been aground on the sands, and was still in great difficulties. At the request of the master, the coxswain of the Life-boat took charge of the ship, the Life-boat being taken in tow, took her into deep water, and left her in charge of a Lynn pilot..
