MAY 22 ND. - RUNSWICK, YORKSHIRE.

At about midnight on the 21st May a ship was seen amongst the rocks just south of Runswick, and at 1.50 A.M. on the 22nd the motor life-boat Robert Patton - The Always Ready was launched. The sea was smooth, but there was fog. About half a mile south of Runswick village the life-boat found the Grimsby steam trawler Cynthia. She had run aground in the fog when returning from fishing. The life-boat ran out a kedge anchor. With its help the trawler was refloated at 4.15 A.M. and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 4.40 A.M. - Property salvage case.
