STAITHES, YORKSHIRE. — The steam trawler Maggie Ross stranded on the rocks at Boulby in hazy weather about 4 A.M. on the 27th March, while bound from Aberdeen to Hull with a cargo of fish. About 7 A.M. three of the crew of the vessel arrived at Staithes in the ship's boat and reported the casualty.

Some cobles were launched, but found there was too much sea for them to reach the trawler; the ship's boat, however, put off again with the intention of returning to the stranded vessel, but was upset in the surf, two of the crew being unfortunately drowned ; the third man was washed ashore alive. The Life-boat Jonathan Stott was promptly launched, and, although unable to save the two men lost from the boat, sue-ceeded in rescuing the remainder of the crew of the trawler, six in number.

On the 19th July the fishing cobles belonging to this place were overtaken while at sea by heavy weather, and their return was attended with great danger. In order to ensure the safety of the fishermen the Life-boat was launched about 7 A.M., and stood by each boat as she came in. Happily, all succeeded in reaching the shore in safety, and shortly before noon the Life-boat returned ashore and was rehoused..
