Humber, Yorkshire.—At 1.50 P.M.

on the 21st October, 1937, during a lift in a dense fog, a vessel was seen to run hard aground on the beach near the life-boat house. The wind was light and the sea slight. The motor life-boat City of Bradford II was launched at 2.10 P.M., and found the vessel to be the Hull steam trawler King's Grey bound, with a crew of fourteen, for the fishing grounds. On the life-boat coxswain's advice the King's Grey dropped her bow anchor, and then went ahead on her engines.

She refloated, but the strong tide carried her on to the sand again.

After further help from the coxswain she was got off once more, and the life-boat piloted her out into the main channel. She went on her way, and the life-boat made for her station, arriving at 3.30 P.M.—Property Salvage Case..
