The. weather was. foggy, the sea was very heavy and a moderate gale was blowing from N.N.E. At 7.40 A.M. the Life-boat Hearts of Oak was launched and when near the Wold Light-ship was taken in tow by a steam-tug towards the vessel which proved to be the steam trawler Oily of Edinburgh, of Grimsby. She had stranded in the night, and shortly before the arrival of the Life-boat had got off the sands but had lost her rudder. The Life - boat remained by her until a temporary rudder was fixed and the vessel proceeded in a northerly direction..
