Humber, Yorkshire.—On the morn- ing of the 28th of January, 1949, there was dense fog, but the weather was calm, and at 5.10 the Spurn Point coastguard telephoned that the motor vessel Northgate, of Hull, was ashore close to the life-boat station. The life- boat crew assembled and hailed the vessel from the beach. She said that she needed no help, but watch was kept on her. Later her owners and captain asked the life-boat to help to refloat her, and at 3.20 in the afternoon the City of Bradford II was launched and towed the Northgote clear. She made for Hull and the life-boat reached her station again at 5 o'clock that evening.
