On the 24th February, it having been reported that a vessel was ashore, the Life-boat put off at 8.30 A.M., and proceeded under sails and oars to the Long Sand, on the N.E. part of which the brig Green Olive, of Littlehampton, coalladen from Sunderland for Shoreham, was found to have run aground in a fog. Thecaptain had engaged the crew of a pilot cutter to jettison part of the cargo in hopes of getting the vessel off, and he requested that the Life-boat might remain by. A steam-tug afterwards arrived, and an effort was made to get the vessel off the sands, but without success; she ultimately began to settle down by the stern, and the crew of eight men then got into the Life-boat, and were landed at Walton pier at 5.30 on the following morning..
