JAN. 2ND. - REDCAR, AND TEESMOUTH, YORKSHIRE. At about 9.45 A.M. the coastguard at Marske telephoned that a motor fishing vessel was in distress four miles north-east of Huntcliffe. She was the Success, of Whitby, with a crew of four. Her engine had broken down.

A strong N.E breeze was blowing, with a rough sea and squalls of hail. The Redcar motor life-boat Louisa Polden was launched at 10.23 A.M., and the Teesmouth motor life-boat J. W. Archer at 10.30 A.M. The Louisa Polden arrived first and found the Success riding to a single anchor. Her main cable had parted and she was dragging. Her crew did not wish to abandon her, and the Redcar life-boat stood by until the bigger Teesmouth life-boat arrived. Teesmouth then took the Success in tow. The Redcar life-boat returned to her station at 12.35 P.M., and the Teesmouth life-boat, after towing the Success to Hartlepool, returned to her station at 3.15 P.M.- Rewards : Redcar, £9 17s. ; Teesmouth, Property salvage case.
