"When the lifeboat reached the steamer the sea was breaking over the masthead, but she was providentially able to anchor in a most advantageous position ahead of her, and although the seas broke over her and repeatedly filled her, this excellent lifeboat as often, in her bouyancy clearing herself of the seas, was at length, with difficulty, enabled to approach the steamer. A communication was then by ropes established with the wreck and the whole crew of fourteen were hauled by the lines through the sea to the lifeboat and brought safely to the shore"

Note: A story told by Peggy nee Whatling, daughter of Harry, that his sister Mary was killed or murdered, shot at the place of her employer and that the incident was hushed up, proved to be correct. The death certificate shows that Mary died on 1st September 1924 at Temple Farm, West Hanningfield Road, just south of Chelmsford, aged 20. The inquest on 2nd September concluded that Mary, a domestic servant, died, "Found dead having killed herself by shooting herself with a gun while suffering from sudden mental aberration" However Mary's family suspected that there may have been a relationship with a member of her employer's household and that the true facts were covered up. After over 80 years the truth is unlikely to emerge as to whether Mary suffered a "mental aberration" and killed herself or whether the aberration was the verdict of the inquest. Either way it was a tragedy.
