WALTON-ON-NAZE, ESSEX.—At 9.30 A.M. on the 26th Feb., 1904, a telephone message was received from the Gunfleet Lighthouse stating that a vessel was aground on the sands. The crew and helpers of the Life-boat James Stevens No. 14 were at once summoned, and the Life-boat promptly manned. There was a strong S.S.E. gale blowing, and it was cold and rough with heavy snow squalls. Under all sail the Life-boat proceeded to the vessel, which provedto be the schooner Lcif, of Rudkjobing; the master subsequently agreed with the Life-boat men and a tug, which had also come out, to salve his vessel. This they succeeded in doing, and took the vessel into Harwich..
