JAN. 11TH. - SUNDERLAND, CO. DUR.

HAM. At about 5.30 P.M. a message was received from the South Docks that a vessel close to the shore was burning red flares. A N.N.E. gale was blowing, with a heavy sea and snow showers. The motor life-boat Edward and Isabella Irwin was launched at 6 P.M. and about three miles east of Ryhope came up with the 2,700-ton Greek steamer George J. Goulandris, of Andros. She had then got out of immediate danger, and wanted a pilot to take her into the Wear. The lifeboat guided her to the harbour entrance where a pilot was waiting, and returned to her station at 8.30 P.M. Owing to the state of the sea she could not be rehoused until next day, -Rewards, £l7 9s. 6d..
