GORLESTON, SUFFOLK.—The Life-boat Thora Zelma was launched at 3.50 P.M., on the 7th April, information having been received that a three-masted schooner had stranded on the outer bank. A N.E. by N. wind was blowing; the sea was smooth and the weather fine but very thick, and there was a dense sea fog. The stranded vessel proved to be the Brazilian, of and from South Shields, bound for Waterford, with a cargo of coal. The Life-boat remained by her, some of her crew assisting at the pumps, and when the tide flowed at about 3 A.M., she was got out of danger..
