The S.S. Minona

The s.s.

Mimona, of Predrikstad, stranded on the Haisborough Sands, on the 17th Septem- ber, whilst bound from Drammen to London with a cargo of wood pulp.

Information of the casualty reached Cromer shortly after noon, and the Louisa Heartwell Life-boat proceeded to her assistance. The No. 2 Boat from Palling, Hearts of Oak, also put off to the vessel. Fortunately the weather was fine, and by the united efforts of the Life-boatmen and the ship's crew, assisted by three tugs, the vessel was refloated at 5.20 P.M. on the 18th, and was subsequently taken to Yarmouth..
