On the 10th February, at 7.30 A.M, the No. 2 Life-boat Hearts of Oak was launched to a steamer which had been in collision with another vessel and was proceeding southward. On arriving alongside, the master stated that he was not in need of assistance, but that the barque with which he had collided off Mundesley was flying signals of distress. The Life-boat therefore went to the barque, the Pomona, of Glasgow, and at the request of the master took ashore a telegiam for the owners, awaited a reply, and returned with it to the vessel..
