A strong N.W.

gale was blowing, and about 1.30 P.M.

on the 6th January, the s.s. Tetlujs (a new sand pump dredger), bound from Glasgow to Sydney, N.S.W., made for Hayle through stress of weather ; after taking the bar, she stranded in a terrific squall on the eastern side of the entrance channel. The Life-boat crew were summoned, and in a very short space of time the Life-boat E. F. Harrison was afloat. As the wind was blowing up the harbour, the boat had difficulty in making headway, but a line having been thrown ashore, many willing hands quickly towed her to the north of the harbour. She then made for the steamer, but the Captain and crew re- fused to leave their vessel, as she was now clear of the worst of the broken water.

The Life-boat remained alongside for some time, and rendered valuable assist- ance to prevent the steamer drifting into further danger, and then returned ashore, being rehoused about 6 P.M..
