Noordstjernan

Humber, Yorkshire.—Early on the morning of the 8th September the lifeboat watchman saw rockets in the direction of Kilnsea, and the motor life-boat City of Bradford II was launched at 5 A.M. A moderate S.S.E.

breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea, and the weather was misty. The life-boat found the Danish motor fishing vessel Noordstjernan, of Frederickshaven, ashore two and a half miles north of the life-boat station. She carried a crew of four and was returning from the fishing grounds. At the request of her skipper the life-boat ran out an anchor, and stood by her until after high water. The life-boat then returned to her station, getting back at 7.45 A.M. The fishing vessel was later towed off by a tug and taken into the Humber. — Permanent Crew. -— Rewards, 9s..
