GORLESTON.—Signal-guns having been fired by the light-vessels, the Life-boat Mark Lane put off at 6.35 A.M. on the 7th February, in a rough sea and a strong N. by E. breeze, and found the brigantine Argo, of Marstal, bound from Fowey for Granton, laden with china clay, aground on the Middle Gross Sand, where she became a total wreck. Her crew, consisting of six men, were rescued by the Life-boat and safely landed at 8.45 A.M..
