1st December.

A German trawler, the Spitzbergen, of Wesermunde, stranded and the life- boat crew assembled, but did not launch, as the vessel was not in im- mediate danger. Later a message, believed to have come from another vessel in distress, was received, and the life-boat went out, only to find, after an unsuccessful search, that it was the same vessel.—Rewards, £26 10s. 6d..
