The S.S. Cordale
MARCH 5TH. - REDCAR, YORKSHIRE.
At 6.15 A.M. a message was received from the coastguard at Marske that a steamer was firing distress rockets four miles east of Marske. A strong N.E. breeze was blowing, with a heavy sea. At 7.20 A.M. the motor life-boat Louisa Polden was launched, and found the S.S. Cordale at anchor. Her rudder had been damaged and she had been blown towards the shore. Her captain and crew did not wish to leave her, as a tug was expected, and the life-boat stood by until the tug had taken her in tow. She returned to her station at 10.30 A.M. - Rewards, £9 11s. 6d..
