Redcar, Yorkshire. At 5.40 on the afternoon of the 4th of July, 1958, the motor mechanic informed the honorary secretary that a small Dutch coaster was aground on Saltscar Rocks. At 6.5 the life-boat City of Leeds was launched in a moderate sea, with a moderate northerly wind blowing and a flood tide. She found that the coaster Fen of Groningen had refloated and three fishermen from local boats were on board her to pilot her clear of the rocks.

She escorted the coaster to the mouth of the River Tees, where she was boarded by a Tees pilot, and then returned to her station, arriving at 7.28. Rewards to the crew, £7 10s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £8 17s.
