At about 2.25 P.M. on 1st December the steam trawler St. Irene, of Hull, stranded on the Inner Binks, when returning, in dense fog, from Bear Island. She was seen from the shore and the No. 2 Motor Life-boat City of Bradford I. put out.

When asked if he required help, the trawler's skipper stated that he had an anchor out, but would be pleased for the Life-boat to stand by. The trawler refloated at 4.40 P.M., and, after thanking the Life-boat crew, proceeded up the Humber.—Permanent Crew..
