London, England, 1845-04-05 00:00:00

On no occasion is it remembered that this noble and disinterested
"ring was more magnanimously displayed than . m Sunday, the 26th
Of January, 1845, on which day, during a veryheavy gale from N. W.
by W. no less than live brigs were in distress, four upon the Scroby
Sand and one upon the Barber. In no one of these cases was there,
et the time of their condition being discovered, the slightest probabi-
lity of saving anything like property. Nothing, therefore, but the
Zarlin promptings of humanity could offer any inducement to the
Heaehmen to man their boats : yet they hesitated not a single mo-
ment, but at once launched their gallant barks and set forward to the
rescue. Happily their efforts, in four instances, were successful in
saving all the crews.
4,..1e Caister Beachmen, with tin it yawl, Storm, succeeded in saving
crew of the Elizabeth, of Scarborough, nine in number.
The Holkham Company, in their Yawl, the Red Rover, 38 tons,
Went off to the brig Jane, of Whitby, from which, although the yawl
sustained considerable damage, they succeeded in rescuing the crew,
nine in number.
The Young Company, with their yawl, the Sailor's Friend, of 48
tons succeeded, at very considerable risk, in taking off the crew of
the brig Choice, of Newcastle, also nine in number.
The Star Company, in their yawl, Phoenix, went off to the Ann, of
Sunderland, from which, after splitting the stem and carrying away
the
Mast of the yawl, they rescued and safely landed the crew of
Aire men.
Having thus far been enabled to record the meritorious and suc-
cessful conduct of these gallant men, who, in addition to the immi-
nent risk of their lives, have suffered considerably in the injury done
to their property—for which no remuneration can be anticipated but
hem the benevolence of a British public, it remains to relate the me-
The catastrophe which forms the climax to this statement.
the The Beachmen of the " Phoenix" having safely landed the crew of
the " Ann," and being themselves much exhiusted, a fresh crew of
same Company re-manned the yawl, and immediately proceeded
to another vessel lying in distress on the Scroby ; the wind was then
blowing a hurricane. On nearing the vessel, they found the sea
rui
failing over her, and made an unsuccessful attempt to reach her ;
failing
to do so, they let go their anchor and veered down ; unfortu-
VnelY the force of the sea drove the yawl upon the brig and dashed
.7 to pieces ; when the Beachnien—with the exception of one man
(named Abraham Wetherell), who sank with the yawl—got on board
s„" brig, which was now drifting, and every sea breaking with tre-
.aendous violence over her bull.
The accident being witnessed from the shore several men belonging
7ewthe different Companies manned the life-boat and fl
to their as-
n,lance. The danger of all was extreme, and those on shore trembled
:se for the poor fellows on the brig aed those in the life-boat. Hap-
fly she reached the brig though too late for many, some of whom
,7e re carried overboard by the falling of the brig's masts, and some
Srmed on the wreck. Six only of the " Phcenix's crew were saved:;
Z. 1.1 of the brig's crew, who were in a state of exhaustion when the
slicenie first reached ber, the whole perished.
Thus in the noble attempt to save the lives of their fellow-men,
seven of our gallant beachmen found a watery grave, leaving behind
t,,
t;e_nl four widows and fourteen children (ten of whom are under
'lvo years of age) totally unprovided for, as well as the aged
mothers of the three single men. Their nit:Ts were Abraham
Wetherell (leaving a widow and nine children), James Shreeve
(Widow and three children), Ganham (alias James) Hiding (widow
and two children), James Boulton (widow), William Warner, George
'mothers, and James George, single men, but upon whom their widowed
'mothers, or aged parents, depended for subsistence.
To provide a thud to relieve the necessities of the bereaved—to re-
Ward the noble fellows who so gallantly risked their lives for others—
to assist -in replacing the serious loss suffered by the boatmen—and
t° form • a nucleus for a permanent fund for the relief of sufferers
Under similar calamities in future—is the object of the present
