FEBRUARY 3RD. - RAMSEY, ISLE OF MAN. At 2.45 in the morning the coastguard reported vessels in collision three miles east-by-north of Queen’s Pier. The motor life-boat Lady Harrison was launched at 3.40. The south-westerly wind was moderate, but the sea rough. The life-boat found that the Dutch motor vessel Rian, of Groningen, laden with coal and bound from Maryport to Par, had been sunk in collision with the Dutch minesweeper Jan Van Gelder, while anchored in Ramsey Bay. Her crew of six had taken to their boat and, with their dog, were picked up by the minesweeper.

The life-boat took them off the minesweeper and landed them at Ramsey at 5.30 that morning. - Rewards, £28 11s..
