Several small yachts visited Spurn on the 9th July. After they had set out again a heavy squall sprang up and one of the yachts—the Alice, of Grimsby— drifted aground on the Trinity Sand.

A strong, squally breeze was blowing with a choppy sea, and it was raining.

The boat was seen from the life-boat station and the motor life-boat City of Bradford No. 1 was launched at 4 P.M.

She found that the three men on board the Alice had got on to the Trinity Sand, which is entirely surrounded by water.

The Alice was towed off, and the men were taken off by an Easington coble, that was fishing nearby, and trans- ferred to the life-boat. The men and their boat were then taken to Grimsby by the life-boat, which returned to her station at 7.30 P.M.—Permanent Crew, Rewards, 6*..
