— The brigantine Lenore, of Eaversham, carrying a crew of six hands, whilst bound to London on the 5th April, got into difficulties near the mouth of Harwich Harbour, owing to a strong easterly gale. Shortly before 5 P.M. she displayed signals of distress, and the No. 1 Life-boat Ann Fawcett was launched. The Coxswain proceeded to the vessel, and on reaching her the captain stated that he required help, as the anchors were dragging.

Life-boatmen were put on board, and the Coxswain taking charge brought the vessel into harbour..
