The coxswain of the Life-boat Beauchamp, while on the watch at 3.30 A.M., on the 16th September, saw the sidelights of a vessel which was apparently stranded on the Barber Sand. About ten minutes afterwards signals of distress were shown; thereupon the Life-boat was launched, and proceeding in the direction in which they had been seen found the dandy William, of Great Yar-mouth, returning home from the fishing ground, stranded on the N. part of the sand. All efforts to get the vessel afloat having failed, the Life-boat attached her tow-rope to her and anchored outside the sand until noon, when the wind, which was blowing from W.N.W., increased, and heavy seas began to break over the fishing-boat. The Life-boat then got her anchor up and went alongside the vessel, this being accomplished by means of the tow-rope, the boat frequently grounding, owing to the shallowness of the water on the sands, and the seas breaking over the crew. The vessel's crew of ten men were taken into the Life-boat, which again grounded, and had to wait until the tide flowed, when she was able to get off the sands, and make for her station, which was reached at 3 P.M. Just before the Lifeboat left her, the vessel turned over and rapidly broke up..
