River Witham
Humber, Yorkshire.—Early on the morning of the 17th February the Mablethorpe coastguard reported a vessel ashore at Saltfleet Haven. A moderate S.E. breeze was blowing, with a moderate ground sea. The motor life-boat City of Bradford II was launched at 6 A.M., and found the motor barge River Witham, of Hull, stranded on the beach. She stood by in case her help was wanted, but the River Witham was washed high up on the beach by the flood tide. The life-boat then returned to her station at 12.30 P.M.—Permanent paid crew ; Rewards, £l Os. 3d..
