HARWICH.—In reply to signals from the Cork Light-ship denoting that a vessel was on the Sands, the steam Lifeboat City of Glasgow left her moorings at 7.5 P.M., on the 17th May, and proceeded through a moderate sea to the assistance of the vessel, which proved to be the schooner Harriet, of Goole, laden with rice from London for Great Yarmouth. About five minutes before the Life-boat reached the spot, a beach boat from Woodbridge Haven had arrived and her crew had been engaged to render assistance. The Life-boat stood by until the schooner floated and no further help was required.

This was the first service rendered by the new steam Life-boat, and her behaviour and speed gave great satisfaction..
