JUNE 7TH. - SALCOMBE, DEVON. At one in the morning a request came for the life-boat crew to stand by, as the deep sea tug Empire Harry, of Hull, with two laden lighters in tow, had gone ashore. A fresh south-west wind was blowing, with a heavy ground sea. It was foggy. At 2.30 the motor life-boat Samuel and Marie Parkhouse was launched and found the Empire Harry and the lighters on the rocks at Beacon Cove.

She rescued the crew of nineteen, and returned to her station at 7.30. The Empire Harry and the lighters became a total loss.- Rewards, £13 7s. 9d..
