GORLESTON.—On the 15th November at 2 A.M., while a fresh and increasing breeze was blowing from the N.N.E., with a rough sea and foggy weather, flares were seen in the direction of the North Sand.

The crew of the Gorleston No. 2 Life-boat Leicester were summoned, the boat was aunched and proceeded in tow of a steam • ;ug to the vessel, which was the dandy Hiram, of Lowestoft, returning from, a fishing voyage. A tow rope was takento the tug, which tried for some time to move the vessel but failed to do so. As the tide was falling, nothing further could be done until daylight, when an anchor was laid out and, at the flood tide, the smack was got off the sand and was towed into the harbour..
