On 7th September, the Swedish steamer Kalix, of Stockholm, on her way from Norvic to Middlesbrough,stranded near Teesmouth. She was badly damaged; one of her holds was full of water, and her crew got ready to abandon her. When the Teesmouth Life-boat arrived on the scene she found the Kalix being towed away stern first, and stood by with the Hartlepool Motor Life-boat until the vessel was beached just inside the breakwater. The Teesmouth Branch has since received a letter of thanks and a cheque for £5 from the owners..
