LOWESTOFT.— The shrimping lugger Faith, of Lowestoft, when near the East Newcome buoy, reaching in towards the land, on the 19th March, had her sails blown away by a sudden squall.

The occurrence was witnessed by the coxswain of the Life-boat, who at once mustered the crew, and at 7.45 A.M. the Life-boat Samuel Plimsoll was on her way to the scene of the casualty. She went out under sail, and on reaching the boat, which had a crew of two men on board, took her in tow and brought her into the harbour..
