The S.S. Grosvenor
— The s.s. Grosvenor, of Newcastle, bound light from Port Knockie to Sunderland, struck the rocks at Emmanuel Head early on the morning of the 20th Decem- ber. A moderate N.W. breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. The night was very dark, and there were patches of fog. When the Grosvenor began to founder her crew of eight took to her small boats, but remained near her, as it would have been extremely dangerous for them to try to reach shore. They burned signals of distress, and the motor life-boat Milburn was launched at 2.15 A.M. She rescued the eight men and returned to her station at 4.30 A.M. The Grosvenor became a total loss. — Rewards, £15 145. 6d..
