Groveland

On the morning of the 25th November it was reported that a steamer was apparently ashore near the Inner Binks, and the motor life-boat City of Bradford II was launched at 10.15 A.M. The wind was only light, with a slight ground sea, but there was a fog. The life-boat found the Swedish steamer Groveland, of Raa, hard aground between Inner Binks and Spurn lighthouse, and stood by her until at 1 P.M. she floated clear on the flood tide. Then, acting on the cox- swain's advice, and following the lead given by the life-boat, the Groveland got safely into the channel, and, after thanking the life-boat's crew for their help, went on her way up the Humber.

The life-boat returned to her station at 2 P.M.—Property Salvage Case..
