SEPTEMBER 15TH. - BARROW, LANCASHIRE.

At 11.25 at night the honorary secretary of the life-boat station received a telephone message from the Barrow police that a vessel was arriving off Lightening Knoll at midnight and that a boat was needed to land an injured man. The message had come from the vessel through the flag officer-incharge and the police at Liverpool. A moderate south-west breeze was blowing, with a nasty swell and heavy rain. The motor life-boat N.T. was launched at 11.45 and found the vessel to be H.M.S. Saltburn.

She brought ashore a man with a badly injured right hand, arriving at 2.30 next morning. - Rewards, £10 11s..
