SOUTHEND-ON-SEA, ESSEX.—On the morning of the 25th March, a strong breeze was blowing from N.E., the sea was moderate and the weather thick, with snow squalls. About 10 o'clock the coxswain of the Life-boat James Steveiis No. 9 received a message by telephone from the pierhead, to the effect that a barque was aground on the Nore Sand and in a dangerous position. He at once summoned the crew of the Lifeboat and proceeded to the rescue. The vessel proved to be the Greihe, of Kragero, homeward bound from London, in ballast, and manned by a crew of nine men. At the master's request, the Lifeboat remained by the barque until she floated at about 3 p.m..
