NEWBIGGIN, NORTHUMBERLAND.—The s.s. Klondike, of Laurvig, in ballast from Hartlepool for Blyth, stranded in Gambols Bay while a moderate breeze was blowing from S.S.W., with a moderate sea, on the night of the 15th September. The weather was so thick that she could not be seen, and as the condition of the sea outside Newbiggin Bay was uncertain, and there are dangerous rocks in the locality it was considered expedient to launch the Life-boat Robert and Susan.

At 1.30 A.M. the boat put off and stood by the steamer until the tide rose and she got afloat again..
