Rolla, of Hull

On the 14th July the Withernsea Life-boat went out during a strong breeze from the N.E. to the steamer Rotta, of Hull, which had gone ashore about two miles south of Withern- sea. The vessel, however, succeeded in getting out of danger without the assist- ance of the Life-boat. The expense of this launch was defrayed by the owners of the steamer.
