. JANUARY 1 0TH. - PORT ST. MARY, ISLE OF MAN. At 7.45 P.M. the lights were seen of a ship ashore on Gansey Point, about half a mile N.E. of Port St. Mary breakwater, and the motor life-boat Sir Heath Harrison was launched at 8.30 P.M. A light easterly wind was blowing and the sea was smooth, but the night was very dark, with showers of sleet. The life-boat found that the stranded ship was the S.S. Speke, of Liverpool, bound, laden, for Belfast from Liverpool. She had a crew of seven. The life-boat took them off and landed them at 9.10 P.M. At 4.30 A.M.

the following morning the life-boat took the seven men back to the Speke, and they refloated her under her own power as the tide rose, at about 5.20 A.M. She came into Port St. Mary harbour, and the life-boat returned to her station at 6 A.M. - Rewards, £27 17s..
