On the 8th June the Finnish steamer Otava, of Helsingfors, ran aground in a thick fog at Tunstall, about twenty miles south of Bridlington. She was bound for Hull with a cargo of timber, and carried a crew of sixteen. A moderate N.E. breeze was blowing with a moder- ate sea. The coastguard gave news of the steamer's plight, and the motor life-boat Stanhope Smart was launched at 10 P.M. She found the Otava at 1 A.M. next morning, but could not get alongside until about 2.30 A.M. when the tide flowed. At the captain's request the life-boat ran out anchors, and at 5.15 A.M. the Otava was re- floated with her help. Some of the life-boat crew went to Hull with the steamer and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving back at 9.30 A.M.
