FEB. 14TH. - THE HUMBER, YORKSHIRE.

At 5.30 A.M. the life-boat watchman reported that a vessel had run ashore on the end of Spurn Point. The coxswain immediately went to the beach, where he saw the steam trawler HAUSA, of Hull, stranded on a steep part of the Point. Although only a light westerly wind was blowing and the sea was smooth, the trawler would be likely to roll on her beam ends as the tide ebbed. The motor life-boat City of Bradford II was launched at 6.5 A.M., and stood by the trawler until the tide had ebbed and she was safe.

The life-boat then returned to her station.

Meanwhile, a tug had arrived and managed to get a wire aboard the trawler. When the tide flowed there was a possibility of the sea going over the Hausa's bulwarks, so the lifeboat put out again and stood by the trawler until she had been refloated. The life-boat returned to her station at 12.45 P.M.-Permanent paid crew ; Rewards, 13s. 6d..
