CAISTER, NORFOLK. — On the 14th February, the look-out observed a large steamer, apparently stranded on the Middle Cross Sand and soon afterwards she showed signals of distress. The Life-boat Beauchamp was launched at 12.30 P.M. and found she was the s.s.

Russian Prince, of Newcastle, bound from that port for Savannah, in ballast.

She was just inside the Cross Sands, afloat, with a heavy list to port and unmanageable, her engines being disabled. The services of the Life-boatmen were accepted and with the help of two steam-tugs the vessel was taken to Yarmouth roads and anchored there at about 7 P.M..
