About an hour before sunset, in misty weather, on the llth September a foreign schooner went ashore on the Barber Sand, and the Cockle Lightship commenced to fire guns. The crew of the No. 2 Life-boat Nancy Lucy were assembled, and the boat proceeded to her. She proved to be the Zwaantje Cornelia, of Groningen, bound from Yarmouth to Hull, in ballast.

On the flowing tide the vessel floated, and the Life-boat, being no longer required, returned ashore..
