Reclaim, of Lowestoft

Angle, Pembrokeshire.—On the morning of the 10th June the steam drifter Reclaim, of Lowestoft, carrying a crew of eleven, ran ashore on Middle Beach, West Angle Bay. A moderate west breeze was blowing and the sea was smooth, but the weather was thick.

The coastguard and the life-boat coxswain went along the beach and spoke the captain, who asked for help on the next flood tide. The motor lifeboat Elizabeth Elson was launched at 6 A.M., taking the boarding boat with her. She ran out the Reclaim's anchor, stood by until she refloated, and then accompanied her to Milford Haven.

She returned to her station at 10.30 A.M.—Property Salvage Case..
