On the afternoon of the 8th September a message was received from the coast- guard, through the wireless station, that a motor fishing boat was aground just south of St. Mary's Island, which is about three miles north of Culler- coats. A moderate S.E. breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. The pulling and sailing life-boat Co-operator No. 1 was launched at 6 P.M. She found that the boat Olive, of South Shields, with a crew of six, had got inside a reef of rock and grounded.

She passed her a line and towed her over the reef into deep water. She then stood by until it was found that the Olive was not holed, and that her engine was in order, and returned to her station at 7.45 P.M.—Rewards, £21 9s..
