Happy Harry

On 22nd February the Happy Harry, a schooner belonging to Whitehaven, bound, laden, from Glasgow to Wexford with a crew of four on board, ran ashore on the North Dogger Bank. She was seen by the Harbour Master, who telephoned to the Life-boat Station at 5.25 P.M. The Motor Life-boat K.E.C.F., was launched in a rough sea, with a freshening N.E. breeze. She found that the vessel was in no immediate danger and that the crew did not wish to leave her. As, however, the schooner was in an exposed position, which would .have been very dangerous if the wind had shifted, the Life-boat stood by until after high water, when the danger was past, and then returned to her Station, arriving at 8.45 P.M.— Permanent Crew, Rewards, £2 6s. &d..
