Weymouth, Dorset.—On the night of the 16th February the 20,000-ton Union Castle liner Winchester Castle, bound from Port Natal for Southampton, ran aground two hundred yards south of Blacknor Fort. A moderate S.E. breeze was blowing, with a heavy swell. Visibility was poor, and it was raining. News was received from the coastguard, and the motor lifeboat William and Clara Ryland put out at 10.32 P.M. She stood by theWinchester Castle for some time, and returned to her station at 3 A.M. The Winchester Castle later refloated, and put into Portland harbour.—Rewards, £13 2s. 6d..
