On the afternoon of the 8th January, the Avonmouth haven master telephoned that a ship had gone aground on the Welsh Hook, seven cables N.W. by W.

of the Welsh Hook Buoy, and was lying in a dangerous position. A fresh N.E.

breeze was blowing and the sea was loppy. The motor life-boat Fiji and Charles was launched at 5 P.M., and found the ship to be the three-masted schooner Nelly Fleming, of Cork. She carried a crew of five, and was bound from Lydney, in Gloucestershire, to Youghal with a cargo of coal. The life-boat stood by until she refloated, and -then ran alongside. It was found that she was not damaged, and she went on her way. The life-boat then made for home, arriving at 9.15 P.M.— Rewards, £16 14s. 6d..
