The Life-boat was called out on the 19th December to the assistance of the trawler Ladas, of Grimsby, which had stranded at Marske.

When the Life-boat first reached the vessel the master declined any assist- ance and the Life-boat returned. Later the vessel hoisted a signal of distress and the boat again proceeded to her, when the crew were engaged to lay out an anchor as the captain and crew still declined to leave their vessel..
