Humber, Yorkshire.—At 9.25 on the night of the 6th of January, 1951, the Spurn Point coastguard reported a message from Kilnsea coastguard that a vessel was ashore half a mile north of the coastguard station. The night was very dark, but the weather calm, when at 9.43 the life-boat City ofBrad- •ford II was launched and went out to her. She found she was the steam trawler Siluria, of Grimsby, aground on a sandy beach, but in no immediate danger. So the life-boat stood by until she refloated on the rising tide. The trawler then went on her way to Grimsby, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 2.20 in the morning.—Paid Permanent Crew.
