The steamer Langton Grange, of London, a vessel of upwards of nine thousand tons register, belonging to the Houlder Line, stranded during a dense fog on the 5th August on the North Bishop Rocks.

Her signals of distress were heard at 3.30 A.M. and as quickly as possible the Life-boat Gem was despatched. The weather was very calm with a dense fog, and not knowing at that time the exact position of the wreck a somewhat pro- tracted search had to be made before she was discovered. On getting along- side the Coxswain boarded the vessel aud the captain asked him to stand by her.

Aiter three hours the persons on board elected to remain, and as by that time there were several other steamers in attendance the Life-boat returned to her station arriving at soon after noon..
