Sunderland, Co. Durham.—On the 9th December the Norwegian steamer Kjorrefjord, of Farsund, bound for the Tyne with a general cargo, ran ashore on Whitburn Steel, about two miles north of Sunderland. The wind was only light and the sea smooth, but there was a fog. The motor life-boat Edward and Isabella Irwin was launched at 4.50 P.M. and stood by the steamer until she refloated at high tide and went on her way. The life-boat returned to her station at 10.20 P.M.— Rewards, £19 5s. Sd..
