CRESSWELL, NORTHUMBERLAND. — The Life-boat Ellen and Eliza was launched at 10.50 P.M. on the 6th February, 1899, in keenly frosty weather, while a moderate southerly breeze was blowing, accompanied by a heavy sea and a thick haze, and went to the assistance of the steam-trawler Lapwing, which was observed stranded on the Broad Car Rock. In about a quarter of an hour the vessel was reached and the Life-boat remained by her until 2 A.M., when the tide receded and the crew of eight men were able to walk ashore, carrying their effects with them.
