Skegness, Lincolnshire.—On the morning of the 26th January the coastguard reported that rockets had been seen by the Lynn Wells lightship from a steamer aground on the Dog's Head Sands. She was the s.s. Olavus, of Hull, bound in ballast from the Tyne to Boston. A moderate east breeze was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat Anne Allen was launched at 7.55 A.M., and four life-boatmen boarded the steamer. At the master's request the life-boat took a message ashore and returned with the reply. She then stood by until late in the afternoon, when the Olavus got off under her own steam. The life-boat returned to her station at 6.20 P.M., after having been on service for nearly ten and a half hours. An increase in the usual money award on the standard scale was granted to each member of the crew.—Rewards, £19 18s..
