The lugger Twilight, of Inverness, when bound on the night of 4th October to Lowestoft for the herring fishing, stranded on the South Scroby Sands. There was a strong N.N.E. breeze with a heavy sea at the time, and their signals of distress were promptly responded to. The crew of the Life-boat John Burch were assembled, and the boat proceeded to the help of the shipwrecked men. Great difficulty was experienced in rescuing the crew of six hands, as the vessel was hove over and the sea swept her. The men were found clinging to the side of their craft, and from this perilous position were taken into the Life-boat. To reach the fishing boat the Life-boat had to go into very shoal water, and when making for shore with the rescued men on board •he struck the sands heavily several times, happily without serious conse- quences. Yarmouth was reached shortly J after one o'clock in the morning and the rescued men were landed. The fishing vessel became a total wreck..
