Humber, Yorkshire, — At 6.20 A.M.

on the 23rd February it was learned from the Spurn Royal Naval Signal Station that the trawler Algorma, of Grimsby, was ashore nine miles north of Spurn, and in need of help.

The wind was light, but there was a very heavy sea. The motor life-boat City of Bradford II was launched at 6.45 A.M., and found the Algorma ashore close under Dimlington Cliff.

She anchored and veered in. The Algorma was practically dry forward, and as the Board of Trade life-saving rocket apparatus had got a line on board, her crew decided to go ashore in the breeches-buoy. The life-boat stood by while this was done, and returned to her station at 10.50 A.M.

The crew of the Algorma later returned to their ship, and she refloated on the following tide.—Permanent paid crew.
