The Humber, Yorkshire.—At about 1 A.M. on the 17th October, 1939, the life-boat watchman reported that a vessel was standing into danger near the Middle Binks. A light, variable wind was blowing. The sea was smooth.

At 1.15 A.M. the motor life-boat City of Bradford II was launched, and found the steam trawler Dane, of Hull, aground. She laid out an anchor and with the help of it the trawler refloated later and went on her way to Hull.

The life-boat returned to her station at 6.30 A.M.—Property Salvage Case..
