Bridlington, Yorkshire. — During a moderate N. by E. gale with a heavy sea and rain, on the 13th August, information was received from the coastguard that the fishing vessel Protect Me II was signalling for help about three and a half miles off Hornsea. The motor life-boat Stanhope Smart was launched at 7.15 P.M., and went to the vessel, followed by another fishing boat, the Gloamin'. She found that the Protect Me II, with a crew of four, hadanchored, but the anchor had parted, and she was driving towards the shore.

With the help of the life-boat the Gloamin' took her in tow and brought her into Bridlington Harbour. The life-boat was taken ashore on the South Beach at 11.15 P.M., the operations being watched by a large crowd of visitors.—Rewards, £14 10s..
