The steamer Lincoln, of Grimsby, belong- ing to the Great Central Railway Com- pany, stranded on the Hasboro' Sands on the 21st January. She was bound at the time from Antwerp to Grimsby with a general cargo and was carrying eighteen passengers. Her signals of distress were seen by the Wold Light- vessel, and the No. 2 Life-boat Eleanor Brown from Winterton and the No. 2 Life-boat Hearts of Oak from Palling, were called out. The Winterton Life- boat reached the ship at 6.30 A.M. and the captain requested the Coxswain to land the passengers without loss of time.

They were taken into the boat, which then proceeded ashore. In the mean- time the Palling boat reached the steamer amd the crew were engaged to try and get the vessel off the sands. As soon as the Winterton boat had landed her passengers she returned in tow of a tug to the steamer, to find that the efforts of the Palling men, assisted by tugs, had been successful, and the vessel was afloat. As no further help was required the Life-boats returned to their stations..
