The s.s. Zembra, of Dunkirk, bound from Hartlepool to Savona, laden with coal, and carrying a crew of twenty-nine, ran aground on the Haisborough Sands, on the night of the 19th November, during a fog. Informa- tion was received from the Coastguard the following day, and the Motor Life- boat H. F. Bailey put out at 12.30 P.M.

in a moderate S. breeze with a smooth sea, reaching the vessel, about four miles S.E. of the Haisborough Light- vessel, at 2.30 P.M. The Coxswain decided to stand by. Later tugs arrived, but their efforts to refloat the steamer failed. The Life-boat stood by all night, and at daylight on the 21st the Coxswain was asked to continue standing by during salvage operations by the tugs.

This he did, until 1.30 A.M. on the 22nd, when the Zembra was got off the Sands and continued her voyage. The Life- boat returned to her Station at 7.30 A.M., having then been out forty-three hours.
