She ran out the trawler's anchor, and returned ashore to report to her owners. Then, at their request, she went back to the trawler and stood by her until she refloated at 12.20 A.M.

on the 16th. She had not been dam- aged, and went on her way. The life- boat arrived back at her station at 1 A.M.—Property Salvage Case..
