JANUARY 20TH. - REDCAR, YORKSHIRE.

At 6.10 in the morning the coastguard reported that a vessel was close inshore, and at 6.34 that she was ashore on East Scar. The motor life-boat Louisa Polden was launched at 7.8. A westerly breeze was blowing, the sea was heavy, and there was fog. The life-boat found the S.S. Dunsley, of Whitby, of 800 tons, in ballast from Leith to Middlesbrough, with a crew of thirty-seven. The crew were in no danger, but the master asked that the life-boat should come back at two o’clock. The lifeboat reached her station again at 9.41 and put out for the second time at 2.15. Her coxswain intended to bring the crew ashore, but the master decided to keep them aboard.

The life-boat stood by for some time in a heavy sea, and then returned to her station, arriving at 4.20 that afternoon. - Rewards, first service, £10 5s. 6d. ; second service, £9 13s. 6d.
