Runswick, and Whitby, Yorkshire.—On the evening of the 25th January the steam trawler Andri, of Eskifjordur, Iceland, carrying a crew of twenty-five, and bound with fish for Grimsby, ran ashore at Kelder Steel, Kettleness. A moderate S.E. breeze was blowing, and the sea was smooth, but the weather was foggy, with heavy rain. The AndrVs signals of distress were heard, and the Runswick motor life-boat Robert Patton—The Always Ready, and the Whitby No. 2 pulling and sailing life-boat, Jacob and Rachel Vallentine, were launched to her help at 8.10 P.M.

and 9 P.M., respectively. The Andri was in a bad position, in shallow, broken water, surrounded by rocks.

The Whitby life-boat went in and found three men in a small boat in the lee of the Andri. They were taken on board the life-boat, eight more men were rescued, and the coxswain told the master that he would return for the others when the tide flowed.

The life-boat then made for Whitby in tow of a motor fishing boat, leaving the Runswick life-boat at anchor off the trawler. After putting the rescued men ashore she returned to the trawler, still towed by the fishing boat, but found that the remainder of the crewhad been rescued by the Kettleness Board of Trade life-saving rocket apparatus. The Runswick life-boat returned to her station at 1.40 A.M., and Whitby at 2 A.M.—Rewards, Runswick, £30 9s.; Whitby, £34 4s..
