At 9.50 A.M. on the 30th November a message was received from the Haisborough Lightvessel stat- ing that a steamer was ashore on the sands. A moderate S.W. gale was blowing at the time and the No. 2 Life- boat Hearts of Oak was promptly launched to her assistance. The vessel proved to be the steamer Orozco, of Bilbao, bound from West Hartlepool to Bordeaux with a cargo of coal. The Life-boat stood" by the vessel until she succeeded in getting clear of the sands, and then returned to her station..
