Harvest Queen

Boulmer, Northumberland.—Very early on the morning of the 17th February the steamer Harvest Queen, of Newcastle- on-Tyne, ran aground at Boulmer Steel. She carried a crew of five, and was bound from Seaham Harbour for Wick with a cargo of coal. A light breeze was blowing and the sea was smooth. The new motor life-boat Clarissa Langdon was launched at 1.47 A.M. and stood by. The Harvest Queen floated off-at 3.30 A.M., and, as the master feared that she might be leaking, he decided to make for the nearest port, Amble. The life-boat escorted her to the pierheads, and returned to her station at 6.20 A.M.— Rewards, £18 17s. 6d..
