MARCH 8TH. - THE HUMBER, YORKSHIRE.

At about 8.30 P.M. it was reported by the Spurn Point Royal Naval Signal Station that a vessel was ashore N.E. of the lighthouse. As it seemed likely that the vessel would become high and dry, as the tide ebbed, the coxswain and members of the crew decided to walk as near to the vessel as possible and investigate. As they approached, distress rockets were fired, and it was found that the vessel ashore was the steam trawler Vindelecia, of Grimsby. The skipper asked for help. The coxswain returned to the station, and reported to the underwriters, who asked that the life-boat should stand-by and give help as required.

A light S.W. breeze was blowing and the sea. was smooth. At 11.15 P.M. the motor life-boat City of Bradford II was launched and stood by the trawler until the tide flowed.

She then took out a kedge for her, and the Vindelecia was refloated at 5.15 A.M. the next day. - Property salvage case..
