On the evening of the 5th September, a Spanish steamer, when entering Blyth, collided with the s.s. Pena Cabarga, of Saiitancler, which was outward bound with a cargo of iron ore. The latter vessel nevertheless proceeded, but after getting a short dis- tance out to sea, it was found that she was badly damaged, and she put about to return to harbour ; in doing so, however, she struck on the Seaton Sea Rocks and commenced to settle down. Signals of distress were made, and in response the Life-boat Dash proceeded to her as- sistance. Shortly after the collision, fearing the steamer was about to sink, nine of the crew left her in one of the boats, and they were picked up by one of the steam cutters belonging to the Blyth pilots. On the arrival of the Dash, the remainder of the vessel's crew, fourteen jn number, were taken ofl' the steamer. The Life-boat then made for the shore, taking one of the steamer's life-boats in tow, containing the ship's papers, the clothes of the crew, etc. The sea was rough at the time, with a moderate S.E. wind blowing..
