The S.S. Terlings

SEAHAM, Co. DURHAM.—At 6.30 A.M.

on the 6th May the s.s. Terlings, of London, bound from Bochester for Seaham, in ballast, in approaching the harbour during a fog went too far to the southward, struck the rocks and filled. A pilot boat and steam-tugs went to her assistance, but were prevented by the rough sea and strong swell from getting sufficiently near to the vessel to rescue her crew. The Life-boat Skynner was therefore launched and took off the crew, consisting of fifteen men, landing them safely at 7.30..
