The S.S. Lemnos

The Life-boat was launched to the s.s. Lemnos, of Dundee, which stranded about a mile S.E. of the South Gare on the 16th December. The weather was thick and cold at the time and the Life-boat stood by the vessel. Whilst there the master stated he wished the Life-boat to remain during the night, and as the regular crew were not in the boat she returned ashore, and the boat put off again manned by the regular crew. They then remained by the vessel throughout the night. At 12.30 A.M. on the 18th it was reported that some of the crew were still on board the steamer and that it was desirable to bring them ashore as the weather was becoming worse. The Life-boat therefore put off again, but found that the men had been landed by a shore boat in the meantime..
