At 5.5 in the afternoon the coastguard reported that the S.S. Empire Dorritt, of Glasgow, had run aground on Barnard Sands. A light north-easterly breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. There was fog. The motor life-boat Michael Stephens was launched at 5.25 and stood by the steamer until 6.45, when she refloated. The life-boat escorted her until she was off the sands. Then the steamer went on her way, and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 8.30. - Rewards, £5 14s..
