The Humber, Yorkshire.—At 3.5 A.M.

on the 13th December, 1937, the watchman at the life-boat station reported that a vessel had run aground on the Trinity Sands. She appeared to be in no immediate danger, and the tide was ebbing. Later the S.S.E. breeze increased to a gale, with a moderate sea, and when the tide changed, it was decided to launch the life-boat.

At 8.30 A.M. the motor life-boat City of Bradford II put out, and found the steam trawler Almondine, of Hull, bound for the fishing grounds, with a crew of ten. On the coxswain's advice she dropped a bow anchor to prevent her drifting farther on to the sands, and at 11 A.M. she refloated. The life-boat then piloted her into deep water and she went on her way.—Property Salvage Case..
