Humber, Yorkshire.—At about 4.35 A.M. on the 21st February the life-boat watchman reported that a vessel had run ashore about a quarter-mile N.E.

of Spurn light-vessel. She was the steam trawler Rose of England, of Grimsby, bound for the fishing grounds.

She had been in collision with another trawler and had been badly holed.

Five of her crew of ten had been taken off by a third trawler, and the remaining five had run her ashore to prevent her sinking. These men were still on board. A strong W.N.W. breeze was blowing, with a nasty ground sea. It was thought at first that the Rose of England could be reached along the shore, but this was found to be impossible, and the motor life-boat City ofBradford II was launched at 5.45 A.M.

When she arrived the trawler's decks were awash. She rescued the five men and took them to Grimsby, returning to her station at 12.50 P.M.— Rewards, £1 Os. 3d; Permanent paid crew..
