Garthclyde

On the 1st February the motor vessel Garthclyde, of London, bound in ballast from London to Blyth, got into difficulties off Filey and dropped both her anchors.

A N.E. gale was blowing with a very rough sea. The anchors dragged at first, but eventually held her in a position where she was meeting the heavy seas that were coming round Filey Brigg. She made distress signals, and the pulling and sailing life-boat Hollon the Third was launched at 11.55 A.M. With some difficulty the life-boat took off the crew of four, and landed them at Filey. She returned to her station at 12.35 P.M.—Rewards, £15 16s..
