In. response to information received from the Hais- borough Light Vessel, through the Coastguard, the Motor Life-boat H. F.

Bailey put out at 3.50 A.M. on 4th October, in fine weather, with a light swell and moderate S.S.W. breeze, to the help of the steam trawler Le Vieux Tigre, of Boulogne, which had stranded on the Haisborough Sands, about one mile N.E.

from the North Mid-Haisborough Buoy.

It was found that she had a crew of seventeen on board, and had lost her propeller. At 7.30 A.M. the Le Vieux Tigre was refloated and later a tug arrived and she was taken to Yarmouth with the Life-boat in attendance. Yar- mouth was reached at 3.30 P.M., and the Life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 8 P.M.—Property Salvage Case..
