FEBRUARY 9TH. - BARRY DOCK, GLAMORGANSHIRE.

At 4.44 in the morning the Royal Naval Shore Signal Station at Nells Point telephoned that Burnham Radio had picked up a message from the S.S. Coulgorm, of Glasgow, that she was aground on the south-west corner of the Cardiff Grounds and wanted a tug. At 5.30 a message from the staff officer at Plymouth, asked for the lifeboat to go out and stand by, and the motor life-boat Rachel and Mary Evans was launched at 6.38. A moderate north-westerly wind was blowing, and the sea was smooth. The life-boat reached the vessel, about nine miles away, at 7.10, and stood by. At eight o’clock the Coulgorm refloated under her own power and the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at nine o’clock. - Rewards, £11 6s. 6d..
