 The "Augusta" was launched in raging seas with waves crashing over her to go to the assistance of the "Dygden" which had now got into difficulties of west of Blakeney.When the lifeboat reached the barque the captain and crew were taken aboard, however the Captain wanted to leave a cabin boy aboard the ship to prevent salvage claims being made by others.Eventually the coxswain of the "Augusta" persuaded the Captain that all 17 members of the crew should be taken off the ship and the Captain and crew were saved and landed at Brancaster.
