— During moderate weather on the 20th February a telephone message was received stating that a steamer had stranded at the entrance to the harbour. The No. 1 Life- boat Sarah Jane Turner was launched and proceeded down the river under oars. She found the s.s. Britannia, of Gefle, aground in about the same place as the steamer Owain Tudur stranded the previous day. The crew of the vessel were not desirous of being landed.

The Life-boat therefore stood by the steamer until she succeeded in floating at about 11 P.M. The Life-boat then returned to her station and was rehoused..
