Rigged Shrimping Boat Adeline

WINTERTON.—Shortly after 5 o'clock on the evening of the 12th March, the cutter rigged shrimping-boat Adeline, of Great Yarmouth, was observed to ship a sea, when about half a mile S.E. of Winterton, and to instantly founder. An alarm being given, the No. 1 Life-boat Edward Eirfebecfe vras launched, proceeded to the scene of the casualty and found one man clinging to the vessel's bowsprit. He was at once taken into the Life-boat and stated that another man was with him in the boat at the time the accident occurred. A diligent search was made by the Life-boat's crew, but unhappily no trace of the man could be seen; all that was found was the floating wreckage of the boat..
