WINTERTON, NORFOLK.—On the night of the 29th January, while a strong wind was blowing from E.N.E. the weather being squally and the sea heavy, an intimation was received that the services of the Life-boat were needed. The crew and helpers assembled and horses were sent for, but before they arrived the men had taken the Life-boat Edward Birkbeck along the beach opposite to where the vessel was stranded, about half a mile north of the Life-boat Station. There she was launched at about 11 o'clock and, with the aid of the whip of the rocket apparatus, succeeded in effecting the rescue of the crew of twelve hands and the master's wife from the barque Theodor of Elsfleth, bound from Hamburgh for Monte Video with a general cargo. The vessel became a total wreck..
