NOVEMBER 1ST. - WEYMOUTH, DORSET.

At 7.21 in the evening, the Wyke Regis coastguard reported a vessel aground on Shambles Bank. She was the Swedish tanker Ariston, of 15,000 tons, laden with oil, from America for the United Kingdom, with a crew of about thirty. A light northnorth- east breeze was blowing, and the sea was smooth. At 7.40 the life-boat crew assembled, and at 8.40, at the request of the naval authorities, the motor life-boat Hearts of Oak, on temporary duty at the station, was launched. She stood by the steamer until 8.30 next morning and then returned to her station to refuel. At 10.30 she again put out and stood by the Ariston until three tugs arrived at 12.15. She then returned to her station, arriving at 1.15 that afternoon. The Ariston was towed off by the tugs at two o’clock. - Rewards, £19 16s. 6d..
