The s.s.IngridlL, of Christiania, whilst bound from Christiania to London with a cargo of timber, stranded on the Whitby Rocks on the 25th November. As the sea was smooth, Coxswain Langlands and Second Coxswain Eglon put off in a coble to the assistance of the vessel and found the crew of sixteen men in two of the ship's boats, hanging on to her.

The captain explained that he had left the ship because he was afraid that she would capsize and founder; but the two Coxswains persuaded the captain and crew to return to their vessel as they thought it would be possible to save her. Steam was got up, but as the vessel was leak- ing the two Coxswains returned to harbour in their coble and went off again to the vessel in the Life-boat.

Coxswain Langlands then took charge and, accompanied by the Life-boat, the steamer and her crew of sixteen hands were taken in safety to Hartlepool..
