New Brighton, Cheshire.—On the evening of the 10th June, 1938, news was received through the Mersey Dock Board that a vessel was ashore on the Burbo Bank. A N.W. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat City of Bradford I, on temporary duty at the station, put out at 6.45 P.M.

She found that the vessel was the schooner Minnie, of Peterhead, with four men on board. Her engine had broken down and her engine-room was flooded. The life-boat took her to Rock Ferry, where she was beached, and returned to her station at 11 P.M.— Rewards, £12 3s. 6d..
