Runswick Bay

The Humber, Yorkshire.—On the morning of the 18th August a trawler was seen to be aground on the Middle Binks. She was the Runswick Bay, of Hull, bound for the fishing grounds and tarrying a crew of fifteen. A light breeze was blowing and the sea was smooth, but as the trawler was near a sunken wreck, the motor life-boat City of Bradford II was launched at noon.

She ran out an anchor for the trawler and then stood by. At half flood tide the trawler heaved on the anchor and eventually floated clear. The life-boat then made for home, arriving at 4.45 A.M. The life-boat crew made a donation to the Institution from the money received for their salvage services.— Property Salvage Case..
