SEPT. 25TH. - REDCAR, YORKSHIRE.

While homeward bound for Grimsby, the steam trawler Oswaldian, laden with Ash and carrying a crew of eleven, ran ashore on the Salt Scar Rocks off Redcar. The weather was hazy with a heavy swell from the northward.

She burnt flares and the motor lifeboat Louisa Polden was launched to her help at 9 P.M. She took off four members of her crew. Four of the remaining men were taken off and landed by a boat which had put out from the shore, and the other three got away in their own boat and made for the life-boat.

The life-boat then stood by for some hours, and as the weather had improved, she put the seven men on board the trawler again. At 1 A.M. they were able to refloat her under her own steam, and the life-boat returned to her station at 1.20 A.M.-Rewards, £14 4s..
