Wreck on the Gunfleet.—The Clacton News states that yesterday morning the Clacton Life boat rocket was heard at two minutes to 7, and half-an-hour later the Albert Edward left the pier-head. The boat at once proceeded to the south-west Gunfleet sands, where a signal of distress had been seen. Before getting to the ship the lifeboat met the crew in a boat. They had abandoned the wreck, and were making for the Gunfleet lighthouse. It appeared that the Larissa,.a barque of 315 tons, with a cargo of coal from North Shields, had run upon the Gunfleet sands about 12 o’clock the previous night. A brave endeavour was made by her crew to get her off, but in vain. Not having a rocket or gun on board, a signal was made of oakum, saturated with paraffin oil; but though this was kept burning for two hours and a half, no notice was taken of it by the lighthouse, though something was very indistinctly seen by the coastguards at Clacton, but the mist prevented anything clear being made out. During the early morning the barque broke in half, and the crew, despairing of any help, made for the lighthouse, but before they reached it they were picked up by the lifeboat. The crew, with the compass, ships papers, and personal baggage, were landed at half-past 11 yesterday rnorning. Most of the men appeared pale and exhausted with the hard toil and exposure of the night, nearly all of them having been wet through for hours. On being landed they were received by Mr. J. H. Harman, the local honorary secretary of the Shipwrecked Mariners Institution, and piloted to the Osborne Hotel, where they were provided with something hot to drink, dry warm clothing, ‘and a good substantial, meal. The’ names of the rescued crew are ’Captain. Robert Whiteman, Blyth; mate, John Ella, ‘.Sunderland W Hill, Plymouth: G.W. Green Whitby: William Ramsey, Blyth ; John Bryant. Tynemouth; David Evans, Aberrth; and Jacob Hanson, Nova Scotia. The six seamen were forwarded by the IocaI secretary of the Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society to the London Sailors’ Home by the 2 53 train, the captain and mate waiting’ to receive instructions from the owners"
