FOUNDED TD PIECES GREW OF ELEVEN DROWNED Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, September 25. (Received September 26, at noon.) A fisherman at Filey, listening with a home-made wireless set, tuned in on a trawler’s wave length and heard a voice say Skegness calling all stations. Am grounded.” It then stopped abruptly. Scarborough and Flamborough lifeboats put out in a heavy gale, but were unable to reach the Skegness. Five lifelines fired by a rocket apparatus were all blown back. A sixth fell right over the Skegness, but no one secured it. The Skegness was pounded’ to pieces on the rocks and all of the 11 crew were drowned. AID REFUSED UNTIL TOO LATE LONDON, September 25. (Received September 26, at 1.5 p.m.) The Skegness’s captain refused to aid of a lifeboat when the ship first went «»hore. Listeners heard the dramatic radio pleading by another trawler; V For God’s sake, man, let me summon the lifeboat or you’ll lose lives.” The Skegness replied that she was bumping, but refused aid for half an hour, .when it was too late.
