Portrush, Co. Antrim.—At 7.52 A.M.

on the 10th March the coastguard reported that the s.s. Jeannette, of Rotterdam, bound for Coleraine with a cargo of chemical manure, had been holed in trying to enter River Bann, and was making for Portrush escorted by two shoreboats. The wind was light, and the sea calm. It was found impossible to beach the Jeannette in the harbour or the bay, and it was decided to take her to Moville, Loch Foyle. The master asked for the motor life-boat T.B.B.H. to escort her, and she was launched at 10.12 A.M.

She accompanied the Jeannette to Moville, and there the Jeannette was safely beached, her after-hold then being nearly three parts full of water.

The life-boat crew went ashore and had a meal before returning home, and the life-boat eventually arrived back at her station at 5.15 P.M.—Rewards, £11 195. 9d..
