AUGUST 11TH. - FLEETWOOD, LANCASHIRE.

At 11 P.M. the naval officer in command asked for the life-boat to go out to a vessel aground on Pilling Sands. She was the trawler River Ythan, of Fleetwood, loaded with fish and carrying a crew of twelve. She had been attacked by German aeroplanes off the Faroe Islands. The motor life-boat Ann Letitia Russell was launched at 11.20 P.M. A moderate W.N.W. wind was blowing, with a rough sea. The life-boat found that the trawler had refloated, put one of her own men on board as pilot and escorted her into port, arriving at 12.50 A.M.
