WITHERNSEA.—On the morning of the 1st April intelligence was received that a fishing smack and a large steamer had stranded. A dense fog prevailed at the time and there was a heavy ground swell.

The Life-boat Admiral Sous was launched and proceeded to the assistance of the vessels. The steamer succeeded in getting afloat again and resumed her journey, but the fishing boat, the dandy Fertile, of Grimsby, with a crew of five men, was not so fortunate. At the request of the master the Life-boat remained alongside the vessel and ultimately, with the help of two steam-tugs, she was got afloat and was taken home Grimsby..
