and he desired them after an explanation with
them where they had obtained it, - which they said
was on the sea shore - to take it to the Barn of Mr
Jordan - Farmer at Skillington Hill, which was close
by. They then went to the shore and fetched a second
lot, which was also placed in the Barn, but after
McCardy left them they took some away and sold
it to Mr Smith of Brandes Burton. The next night -viz-
the 28th John Prophet - another of the Coast Guard men
at the Ulrome Station - found the same two men on
the sea shore at about 9 O Clock with a quantity of Tallow
which they had collected together and desired them to
take it to Mr Jordan's Barn, - but as he had to go further
where there were other lots of Tallow he could not follow
them, and there is no doubt but that they took a portion
away and sold it to Mr Smith. These men also delivered to the
Officers of Captain Palmes who is the receiver in the Bridlington
District C 7.2.5 of Tallow which they had gathered on the
shore, which has been sold for £16.11.11 - The lot stands
No 11 - on his Report Book. Should not these men, with
reference to Sectn 450 of the M S Act of 1854 forfeit their
Salvage on that droit. The three men mentioned in
this paper are among the most difficult to be managed
in wreck matters along the part of the Coast where
they reside JS.
