CAISTER, NORFOLK.—The No. 2 Lifeboat Beauchamp was called out on service on the morning of the 23rd January and was launched at 4.20, signals of distress having been shown on the north part of the Barber Sands. On arriving there the fishing dandy Energy, of Grimsby, was found on the top of the sand with heavy seas breaking all round her. The crew had taken to their boat, but were unable to get clear of the sand owing to the shallowness of the water, and were calling for help. With considerable difficulty the men, seven in number, were got on board the Life-boat and safely landed.

The vessel became a total wreck..
