JANUARY 13TH. - SKEGNESS, LINCOLNSHIRE.

At 2.26 P.M. the Admiralty salvage officer at The Humber asked for the services of the life-boat to take him and his party out to the wreck of a collier, the S.S. Grey Friar, of Newcastle, which had been bombed at Chapel St. Leonards. Survivors of her crew had been rescued by a minesweeper, but two bodies were on board, and tugs were standing by. A light N.N.W. wind was blowing, with a ground swell. The life-boat Anne Miles was launched at 3.30 P.M., put the party on board, and returned to her station at 6.15 P.M. - Expenses paid by Naval Authorities..
