During moderate weather at 5.35 A.M., on the 14th January, flares were observed in the direction of the Newcombe Sands.

The crew of the Life-boat The Two Sisters, Mary and Hannah, were promptly called out and the boat launched. The vessel proved to be the ketch Salacia, of Lowestoft, homeward bound from fishing, but she was hard aground, with her mainmast carried away. At the request of the master Life-boatmen were put on board, and later on the Life-boat succeeded in towing her clear, when she proceeded to Lowestoft Harbour..
