LOWESTOFT, SUFFOLK.—At midnight on the 29th March the trawler Industry, of Lowestoft, while homeward bound, went ashore on the Newcome Sands.

A strong wind was blowing accompanied by a heavy sea at the time. On.

information reaching Lowestoft the No. 2 Life-boat Stock Exchange proceededproceeded with all despatch to the aid of those on board. The trawler was missed in the first attempt to reach her, but the Life-boat quickly put about, anchored to windward, and veered down to her.

The master and four hands were then successfully rescued, but while taking them off a heavy sea struck the Lifeboat, throwing her on to the trawl beam, which seriously damaged the boat, but not sufficiently to prevent her reaching Lowestoft again in safety at 1.40 A.M. on the 30th.

About an hour later the Stock Exchange went out again in tow of a tug to try to save the trawler. Several men were placed on board and manned the pumps, a hawser was then taken to the tug, and later in the day the Industry was towed into Lowestoft..
