At 8.47 P.M. on the 13th January, the Royal Naval Signal Station reported that a vessel was ashore one and a half miles north-east of the station. The motor life-boat City of Bradford II was launched and found that the vessel was the steam trawler Tranio, of Hull.

She had stranded while bound laden from the Faroes to Hull, carrying a crew of thirteen. A light variable wind was blowing with a slight ground- swell, but a dense fog had settled.

The life-boat stood by at the request of the captain, and later ran out a kedge anchor to be picked up by the tugs which had been sent for. Owing to the fog the tugs were not able to find the trawler, but she refloated on the flood tide and went on her way to Hull.

The life-boat then returned to her station and arrived back at 7 A.M.

She had been on service for ten hours.
