St. Clears

JULY 15TH. - DUNBAR, EAST LOTHIAN. At 2 P.M. news was received that the steamer, St. Clears, of Newport, of 8,000 tons, had stranded at Whitberry Ness in a fog, and at 2.5 P.M. the motor life-boat George and Sarah Strachan was launched. A moderate N.E. wind was blowing and the sea was rough. The life-boat remained alongside the steamer for six hours, and helped to refloat her. The St. Clears then went on her way and the life-boat returned to her station at 8.30 in the evening. - Rewards, £7 16s. 6d.
