Try Again

REDCAR, YORKSHIRE.—On the 26th August one of the pilots went out in his boat, the Try Again, to bring back another pilot who was taking out a steamer. The wind, which was blowing from N.N.E., increased to a strong gale and a heavy sea sprung up, placing the boat in considerable danger and rendering it absolutely impossible for her to return to the shore. At 3.30 P.M. the Life-boat Brothers was launched and sailed to the pilot boat, which was found riding at anchor off Marske and showing a signal for assistance. The man was taken into the Life-boat and his boat soon afterwards capsized..
