The s.s. Kossuth Ferencz, of Piume, whilst bound from Nicolaieffto Hull with a cargo of wheat, collided with another vessel when near the Haisboro' Sands on the 15th June.

After the collision the vessel stranded on the sands. During the night tugs managed to get the vessel clear, and whilst taking her to the Yarmouth Roads she again stranded on the Scroby Sands, owing to the tow ropes breaking and the prevailing fog. Shortly before 6 A.M. on the 16th June, the vessel was observed from Caister, and the No. 1 Life-boat Covent Garden proceeded to her assistance. At the request of the captain the Life-boat stood by the vessel throughout the day, as she was full of water forward. At the high tide next following, the steamer was towed off by eight tugs and taken to Yarmouth, the Life-boat in the mean- time returning to her station..
