FEBRUARY 28TH. - RAMSEY, ISLE OF MAN. At 4.30 A.M. a message was received from the coastguard that the motor vessel Ulster Queen, of Belfast, with about 120 passengers and crew on board, had gone ashore at Maughold Head. A light, freshening, S.S.E. wind was blowing, with rain and fog. There was a slight sea. At 5.15 A.M. the motor life-boat Lady Harrison was launched and found the Ulster Queen, lying on the rocks under a steep cliff. She went alongside, took off twenty passengers, and towed two boats, filled with passengers, to the Duke of Lancaster lying near by. In putting them on board her she was damaged.

The weather meanwhile had been getting worse. The wind had veered to the N.E. and was blowing a gale. The life-boat had taken in tow five other small boats which had gone adrift, but in the gale she could not continue to tow them, so she took on board the ten men of their crews and let the boats go adrift. She returned to her station at 9 A.M. - Rewards, £18 14s. 3d.
