CAISTER, NORFOLK. — On the 21st February some of the crew and beachmen on board the s.s. Varna, of London, which had been lying on Caister beach since stranding there on the 23rd January, hoisted a flag. A moderate gale had suddenly sprung up from N.W. with heavy squalls, and there was a heavy sea.

The No. 2 Life-boat Beauchamp was launched at 7 A.M., proceeded to the vessel and remained at anchor near her until she floated at midnight on the 22nd February..
