WINTERTON, NORFOLK.—In the early morning of the 27th February, during moderate but cold weather, a barque was observed on the Hasboro' Sands.

The No. 2 Life-boat, Margaret, was launched and made for the wreck; on the way a steam-tug picked them up and towed them to the vessel, which proved to be the barque Acteeon, of Drammen, bound for Liverpool with a cargo of timber. On arrival the captain stated he intended to try to get his vessel off without assistance when the tide made, but requested the Life-boat to stand by in case her services should be required. This they did, and the vessel floating off at high water, they returned to Winterton, which was reached at 5 P.M..
