Edith May
On the 10th April the motor schooner Edith May, of Wexford, bound from Douglas to Ardrossan with a cargo of scrap iron, was overtaken by bad weather and anchored. A whole S.S.W. gale was blowing, with a heavy sea and heavy rain. Her anchors began to drag and she made signals of distress. The motor life-boat Lady Harrison was launched at 8.35 P.M., took off the crew of three and landed them at Ramsey. She returned to her station at 9.50 P.M. The Edith May rode out the storm, and her crew were able to return to her later.—Rewards, £16 14s. 6d..
