WHITBY and UPGANG, YORKSHIRE.— About 9.45 on the night of the 21st January information reached the Coxswain at Whitby that a steamer wasashore at Upgang, whereupon the No.

Life-boat, Robert and Mary Ellis,"was launched and went to her assistance, She proved to be the s.s. Cayo Bonito, of London, 2,000 tons, bound from the Tyne in ballast. It was a cold, frosty night, and when the lifeboat launched the wind was blowing moderately hard from the N.W., but this gradually fell.

On reaching the vessel the coxswain boarded her, and at the request of the Captain ran out a kedge anchor. The Upgang lifeboat, having also been launched, now came alongside the steamer and by this time the floodtide was making so strongly that it was impossible for one boat to get out another anchor; both boats were therefore employed, and about 4 A.M. the next morning the steamer was hove clear of the rocks. Later the Captain decided to return to the Tyne and the Life-boats not being required any longer, returned to their stations..
