On the night of the 20th April the s.s. Dundee, of Dundee, bound, laden, from that port to London, stranded at the mouth of the River Tay, S. by E. of Horseshoe buoy. She carried twelve passengers, and a crew of twenty-two. Her master sent out a wireless message, and the motor life-boat John Ryburn put out at 10.10 P.M. A strong E.N.E. breeze was blowing, with fog and heavy rain.

The sea was moderate. The life-boat found the Dundee high and dry forward, and with very little water under her stern. The passengers were trans- ferred to her by means of a rope ladder, and the life-boat landed them at Broughty Ferry pier at 12.5 A.M. She put out again at 12.40 A.M. and stood by the Dundee until the arrival of tugs made her presence unnecessary. She returned to her moorings at 4 A.M.

The owners of the steamer sent a letter of thanks.—Rewards, £9 14s. 6d..
