The Humber, Yorkshire. — On the night of the 10th March a fog settled,but shortly before midnight it lifted a little and the life-boat watchman saw a vessel ashore on the Inner Binks.

The motor life-boat City of Bradford II was launched at 12.15 A.M. on the llth, and found the motor vessel Mary Birch, of Hull, hard and dry on the Binks. The fog settled down again, and the life-boat anchored to wait for the flowing tide. The Mary Birch had very little freeboard, and when the tide turned, seas broke over her continually. Fortunately she refloated at 4.20 A.M., and, when it was found that she was not leaking, the life-boat escorted her to a safe anchorage inside of Spurn. The life-boat returned to her station at 5.5 A.M.—Permanent paid crew..
