The James H. Price, of Savannah

AUGUST 28TH. - WALMER, KENT. At 6.30 in the evening, a steamer was seen to be in danger of running ashore and the life-boat coxswain put out in a shore boat to investigate.

A strong south-westerly breeze was blowing and the sea was. very rough. The coxswain found the James H. Price, of Savannah, aground one mile south-west of Deal Bank Buoy. He put two men on board and returned ashore to call out the motor life-boat. The Langham, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 8.10 and stood by until the steamer refloated at 10.15. She escorted her to a safe anchorage and returned to her station at eleven that night. - Property salvage case..
