APRIL, 22ND. - THE HUMBER, YORKSHIRE.

At 10.55 at night the life-boat watchman reported a vessel aground on the Binks. Shortly afterwards she signalled SOS by whistle. The weather was fine, with a light variable wind and a smooth sea.

At 11.20 the motor life-boat City of Bradford II was launched, and at midnight found the steam trawler Chandos, of Grimsby, with a crew of nine. She had run aground while returning with fish from the North Sea fishing grounds. She was lying close to a wreck and in danger of driving on it when the flood-tide made. Two life-boatmen went on board the Chandos. At low water the life-boat had to stand off, but as the tide made she returned alongside again and ran out an anchor. With this help the trawler eventually refloated.

When the trawler had come into the river the life-boat took off her two men and reached her station again at 6.15 next morning.- Property salvage case..
