SEPTEMBER 27TH. - CAISTER, NORFOLK.

At 9.15 in the morning the coastguard reported a small steamer aground on the east side of the Scroby Sands. A moderate west-north-west wind was blowing, with a ground swell. The coastguard kept the steamer under observation. Later he reported her to be rolling heavily, and the motor life-boat Jose' Neville was launched at 10.35. She found the S.S. Brightside, of Middlesbrough, laden, bound for London.

She had thrown overboard some of her cargo and had refloated on the flood tide just before the life-boat arrived. At the request of her master the life-boat piloted her to North Scroby Buoy where she picked up the buoyed channel and went on her way southwards.

The life-boat reached her station again at one in the afternoon. - Rewards, £8 17s..
