The s.s. Clan Malcolm, of Glasgow, bound from London to the Clyde, ran ashore near the Lizard in a dense fog on the 26th September. She was carrying a crew of seventy-five. A moderate to fresh S.S.W. wind was blowing, with a moderate sea. The motor life-boat Duke of York was launched at 9.18 P.M.

She stood by the Clan Malcolm until 2 P.M. next day, and then, as the steamer was no longer in immediate danger, returned to her station. She got back at 3.10 P.M., after having been on service for eighteen hours. In the end the steamer was abandoned and became a total wreck. The owners, who are generous supporters of the Institution, sent a letter of thanks.— Rewards, £28 2s..
