At 2.35 P.M.

on the 3rd March, a vessel was observed by the Coxswain standing into danger near the Scroby Sands. He therefore assembled his crew and launched the Life-boat John Burch and proceeded to her. She proved to be the schooner Henny, of Brake, Germany, bound from Hamburg to London with a cargo of salt. On getting alongside it was found that she was not actually on the sands but in a very dangerous position, and as 'there was a very heavy sea the Life-boat at the request of the Master stood by her, while efforts were made to get her clear. After manoeuvring the vessel for some hours he succeeded, and the Life-boat returned to her station..
