Early on the morn- ing of the 26th April the steamer Rosyth, of Dundee, bound from Goole to Bou- logne with a cargo of coal, ran on to the Goodwin Sands E. by N. of the Brake light-vessel. The coastguard reported her, and the motor life-boat Prudential put out at 1.52 A.M. A strong N.

breeze was blowing, with a rough sea.

The life-boat found the Rosyth in difficulties, with seas sweeping over her.

At the request of the master she stood by until, at high water, the Rosyth came off under her own power. The steamer went on her way, and the life- boat returned to her station, arriving at 5.15 A.M.—Rewards, £10 11s..
