Jargoon, of Glasgow

JUNE 29TH. - GREAT YARMOUTH AND GORLESTON, NORFOLK. At six in the morning the Great Yarmouth coastguard reported a vessel aground on the Scroby Sands. There was a light westerly breeze, and the sea was smooth. At 6.45 the motor life-boat Louise Stephens was launched, found the vessel to be the steamer Jargoon, of Glasgow, and went alongside. Her coxswain went on board. He took soundings round her, and as the tide began to rise helped the captain to refloat her. The life-boat piloted her through a gullyway into Hewetts channel and then into Yarmouth Roads.

She returned to her station at 9.30 that morning. - Rewards, £4 5s..
