WINTERTON, NORFOLK.—The steam trawler Teal, of London, returning to Lowestoft from the fishing grounds, in thick weather, on the night of the 17th January, stranded about a mile N. of Winterton. At about 1 A.M. she was seen by the look-out man, who at once gave an alarm, whereupon the No. 1 Life-boat Edward Birkbeok was launched, and proceeded to the trawler.
