Humber, Yorkshire. — During the afternoon of the 31st August the motor yacht Sea Hawk, of Nottingham, got into difficulties after her engine had broken down, and ran aground in a very dangerous position three miles N.E. of Spurn. She was bound home from Bridlington, with three men on board. One of the men got ashore in a small boat and went to the life-boat station for help. The life-boat crew went along the shore, and found the Sea Hawk high and dry. At the coxswain's suggestion an anchor was run out to prevent her washing up the beach when the tide flowed, and the life-boat crew returned to their station, leaving two men to help the yacht's crew. The wind freshened, and at 10.45 P.M. a moderate S.E. breeze was blowing, with a nasty swell, and the night was very dark, with rain.

The motor life-boat City of Bradford II was launched, and signalled to the life-boatmen on the yacht to stand on the near-by groynes and shine their torches. By their light the lifeboat was taken in between the groynes, and a line was fired ashore. By this means a rope was passed to the yacht.

As the tide flowed the life-boat, helped by the men on the Sea Hawk, hauled the yacht clear. She towed her to Grimsby and returned to her station at 4.30 A.M. on the 1st September.— Property Salvage Case..
