The s.s. Castle Galleon, of Newcastle, while bound for Dieppe from Blyth laden with coal, came into collision with the Swedish steamer Oscar Gorthon during a dense fog at 9.20 on the morning of 2nd June, about three miles S.S.W. of the Cross Sand Lightvessel. The collision was -heard by another vessel which reported it by wireless, and when the information reached Gorleston at 11.15 A.M. the Motor Life-boat John and Mary Meiklam of Gladswood was at once sent out.

After cruising about for two hours in the line of traffic but finding nothing, she went to the Cross Sand Lightvessel.

No further information was available, and the search in the fog was continued.

Eventually the Oscar Gorthon was found, anchored half a mile from the Gorton Lightvessel, with the crew of twelve of the Castle Galleon, which had sunk, on board. They were taken into the Life- boat which landed them at Yarmouth, where they were received into the Sailors' Home.—Rewards, £9 13s..
