— On the morning of the 8th April the steamer Suzon, of Antwerp, ran ashore at Breaksea Point. She was bound from France to Newport with a cargo of pitwood and carried a crew of twenty- four. She was seen by the watchman at Breaksea, and the motor life-boat Prince David was launched at 4.30 A.M.

A moderate to fresh W.N.W. wind was blowing, with a rough sea. The life- boat stood by her until two tugs towed her off and she was in no further danger.

The life-boat returned to her station at 7.30 A.M.—Rewards, £8 55. 6d..
