WINTERTON.—At the termination of a very heavy snowstorm at about 5 P.M. on the 25th January a light and rockets were shown by a vessel which had stranded on the beach about three-quarters of a mile S. of the light-house. The No. 1 Life-boat Edward Sirkbeck was launched, proceeded to her assistance, and found she was a large screw steamer, the Quantock, of and from London for Newcastle, in ballast.

The No. 2 Life-boat Margaret afterwards went to assist, and with the joint help of the Life-boatmen and four steam-tugs, the vessel was got afloat at about 7.30 on the following evening..
