OCTOBER 2ND. - LOWESTOFT, SUFFOLK.

At two in the afternoon the lifeboat coxswain saw a vessel aground on the Inner Newcombe Shoal. She refloated, grounded again, and remained fast. The tide was ebbing, and a moderate sea was running, with a light north-east wind. The motor life-boat Mary Scott, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 2.38 and found the steam drifter Covent Garden, of Lowestoft, rolling and bumping heavily. She stood by until the tide turned and the drifter had refloated, directed her to deeper water, and then escorted her to harbour, arriving at 3.45. - Rewards, £4 15s..
