On the morning of the 28th May the coast- guard telephoned that a trawler was ashore at Snab Point. A moderate N.E. breeze was blowing, with a moderate ground swell and a thick fog.

The life-boat crew, most of whom were working in the coal-mines, were as- sembled, and the pulling and sailing life-boat Martha was launched at 8 A.M.

She found the trawler to be the Boscobel, of Aberdeen, bound in ballast from Aberdeen to Blyth. She had run on the rocks at Broad Skear, her propeller was stripped, and she was bumping heavily. As she was in danger of being holed, the life-boat stood by. At 11.15 A.M. the trawler was refloated by the tide and taken in tow by a tug which had put out from Blyth. The life-boat then put back to her station, arriving at 11.40 A.M. — Rewards, £12 0,9. Qd..
