While at anchor on the 20th October, the s.s.

Carlingford, of Liverpool, dragged her anchors in a whole N.W. gale, with a very heavy sea. At 3 A.M., as she was drifting ashore, she sent out distress signals, and in response the crew of the motor life-boat K.T.J.S. were assem- bled, but almost at once the steamer went ashore. A line was floated down to the vessel from the shore and by means of this line the ship's boat was hauled ashore with her crew on board.

The life-boatmen were engaged in helping to rescue them for about three hours.—Rewards, £9 15s..
