Humber, Yorkshire.—At 7.38 P.M. on the 6th April the Donna Nook coastguard reported that a vessel was ashore north of Donna Nook beacon.

A gentle breeze was blowing, with a slight swell, but there was a very dense fog. The motor life-boat City of Bradford II was launched at 8.15 P.M., and feeling her way through the fog, found the steam trawler Sir John Lister, of Hull, hard aground on Haile Sand, with her head to sea. The lifeboat stood by, and later she ran out an anchor from the trawler. The trawler then heaved on it with her winch and hauled herself off into deep water. Owing to the dense fog, the master decided to remain at anchor, and as the trawler was no longer in danger, the life-boat made for her station. She got back at 1.30 A.M.

on the 7th.—Property Salvage Case..
