— On the 28th March, during moderately rough weather a message was received by telephone stating that a steam trawler had stranded, and was in great danger near the old foundation of the Kilasea Beacon. The crew of the Life-boat Doc.ea Chapman were at once assembled and the boat launched. On arrival at the position indicated the steam trawler Minotaur, of Grimsby, bound for that port, was found ashore, leaking badly.

The Life-boat stood by in readiness to render aid if necessary, but a tug, which had also come to the assistance of the vessel, was able to tow her off on the next tide..
