Hellevoetsluis,
13 November. Yesterday evening around 19.00 o’clock was from Scheelhoek a vessel
sighted which signed through fire for aid. The ice launch Eersteling was fitted
out despite the dark evening, fierce Eastern wind and low tide. The Eersteling
was commanded by relief pilot K. Klop and succeeded to refloat the stranded
fishing hooker De Hoop master Jan Boon owned by the widow Dorsman of
Vlaardingen.
