The above men lost their lives by the sinking of the
“_Rohilla_” on the East Coast, off Whitby, 30th October, 1914,
while on her way from Leith to Dunkirk, to bring soldiers from
the Front.
THE WRECK OF THE “ROHILLA.”
A SAD DAY FOR BARNOLDSWICK.
Perhaps one of the most poignant tragedies of the early stages of the War was the sinking of the hospital ship “_Rohilla_” on the East coast near Whitby. It was a disaster which will long be remembered by the Craven district generally and Barnoldswick in particular, inasmuch as the splendidly appointed ship of 7,000 tons had on board fifteen Barnoldswick members of the Naval Sick Berth Reserve. Of these only three were saved, the remainder being reported dead or missing.
The men concerned were:--
SAVED.
Pte. W. Eastwood, married, two children, 8, Powell Street.
Pte. F. Rediough, single, 13, Ribblesdale Terrace.
Pte. Anthony Waterworth, single, North View Terrace.
MISSING OR DEAD.
Sergt. A. Petty, married, one child, 2, Bracewell Street.
Cpl. M. Birtwhistle, married, one child, 19, Clifford St.
Cpl. W. J. Daly, married, six children, 32, Westgate.
Pte. H. Barter, married, no children, 41, Skipton Road.
Pte. T. Petty, married, three children, 11, Coronation Street.
Pte. T. Horsfield, married, seven children, 33, Heather View.
Pte. W. Horsfield, single, 7, Essex Street.
Pte. Alfred Elsworth, single, 32, Wellington Street.
Pte. J. T. Pickles, married, one child, Federation Street.
Pte. H. Hodkinson, single, 14, Bank Street.
Pte. W. Anderson, single, 20, School Terrace.
Pte. F. Dunkley, married, one child, 9, Bairstow Street.
The “_Rohilla_” was on her way to Dunkirk to bring back the wounded, and at ten minutes to four on the morning of October 30th, 1914, she struck on submerged rocks in the vicinity of Whitby. Within half a mile of land she broke in two, and was battered to pieces in the presence of thousands of spectators, who, for the most part, were helpless. The dangerous proximity of the vessel to land was first noticed by a sentry on night duty on the pier head at Whitby, who was astonished to see a large vessel loom up out of the darkness and pass silently within a few yards of the pier.
Almost simultaneously a coastguard sighted the vessel and recognised her peril as she skirted the submerged rocks which stretch from the foot of the south cliff. Half a mile further on, within a few hundred yards of a curious promontory known as Saltwick Nab, the vessel struck the rocks with a grinding crash. Rockets were at once sent up and the alarm raised. The vessel was about 500 yards from the cliff and in as helpless a position for rescue as could be imagined. It was impossible to launch the larger of the two lifeboats from Whitby Harbour or to drag it under the lee of the cliffs to a more favourable position, and all attempts of the Rocket Brigade to establish communication with the vessel were unavailing.
The smaller lifeboat was, however, dragged along the beach towards Saltwick Nab and a favourable position found for launching. Meanwhile one of the “_Rohilla’s_” boats had been lowered, and after a severe buffeting, reached the shore with the second officer and five of the crew. The rescue of the remainder seemed assured as the boat had brought a line from the steamer, but to the dismay of the onlookers this snapped before any use could be made of it.
Then an attempt was made with the lesser of the Whitby lifeboats. In spite of the very heavy sea they reached the wreck, and, thanks to the admirable seamanship of the coxswain, took off seventeen of the survivors, including the whole of the women on board--five. In this boat were Privates Rediough and Waterworth. A second trip was made and eighteen more were rescued and safely landed, but the boat was found to have been so battered by the double journey as to render her unseaworthy, and further attempts were impossible.
Word was sent for the Upgang lifeboat, but before this arrived it was clear the “_Rohilla_” was breaking up. About 10 a.m. an unusually large wave swept the wreck and when the foam had cleared away it was seen that the stern had turned turtle, and there was no trace of a number of men who, a few minutes before, had been clinging to that portion of the ship. The bows were also settling down and all the men left alive on the vessel were clustered on the bridge.
The Upgang lifeboat, which had been dragged through the town, was lowered over the cliffs, but it was then deemed impossible to launch her. Darkness fell at 5 o’clock. It was a night of horror. Saturday morning saw the superstructure of the “_Rohilla_” still above water with its tragic load. Attempts were made by several--among them, it subsequently transpired, one or two of the Barnoldswick men--to swim ashore, but few succeeded. An attempt by the Upgang lifeboat to reach the wreck failed, and the continued inability of the Rocket Brigade to do anything effective was most disheartening.
When it drew towards evening on Saturday scarcely a flicker of hope remained. About 10 p.m., however, a message was sent to Capt. Neillson urging him to hold on till morning, news having come through that the Tynemouth motor lifeboat was coming down the coast during the night and would attempt a rescue the following morning. Oil was poured on the water near the wreck. The motor boat arrived in the early hours and stayed in Whitby harbour until dawn, when it made towards the wreck. Amid scenes that will never be forgotten by those watching from the beach, all the survivors were taken off and landed safely. Pte. Eastwood was the only Barnoldswick man to be taken off in the motor boat; Pte. Waterworth and Pte. Rediough had previously been taken ashore by the Whitby lifeboat.
There were few towns more sad than Barnoldswick when the news of the disaster came through. Flags were hoisted half mast on the public buildings, feeling references were made from the pulpits of the town, an impressive memorial service was held, and letters of sympathy received from the Admiralty, the Medical Department of the Admiralty, and from many ambulance divisions and brigades in Yorkshire and Lancashire. A fund was started for the erection of a memorial hall, but this has since been merged in the Barnoldswick War Memorial.
A handsome monument has been erected in Whitby Cemetery by the owners of the “_Rohilla_” (the British India Steam Navigation Co.). As the outcome of the disaster a movement for equipping Whitby with a motor lifeboat has been successfully carried through, with the assistance of the Royal Lifeboat Institution. The new boat was launched in June, 1919.
TUNSTILL’S “CRAVEN LEGION.”
One of the outstanding features of recruiting in Craven in the early days of the war was a unique and entirely successful effort by Mr. H. G. Tunstill, of Otterburn, who at that time represented the Settle district on the West Riding County Council.
Mr. Tunstill arrived home from Russia on August 20th, 1914, and very shortly afterwards issued a stirring appeal for ninety-nine men to join him in making a company of one hundred for enlistment in Lord Kitchener’s army. The appeal was addressed more particularly to Mr. Tunstill’s constituents in the neighbourhood of Settle, and a series of meetings were arranged. At many of these enthusiastic scenes were witnessed, and after a campaign extending from the 7th to the 18th of September close upon one hundred men had been obtained, and they paraded at Settle on the 19th. After going through the usual attestation formalities they were royally entertained at the Ashfield and Golden Lion Hotels, Mr. W. Morrison presiding at the former place, and Mr. W. Simpson, Catteral Hall, at the latter. Subsequently there was an entertainment at the Victoria Hall where clothing, comforts and fruit were distributed.
The men left for their depot at Halifax amid memorable scenes. They assembled in Settle Market Place at 7 a.m., and, after a parting speech by Mr. Morrison, were marched to the station headed by the Brass Band and accompanied by a large crowd. The train steamed out of the station amid cheering, the detonation of fog signals and much waving of handkerchiefs.
At Silsden, Mr. Tunstill’s men were met by another batch of recruits and marched into Keighley. It was something in the nature of a triumphal progress, followed by an inspection on the Town Hall Square by the Mayor (Mr. W. A. Brigg) and other local gentlemen. They departed for Halifax in the afternoon by special train and were inspected by Col. Thorold, the officer commanding the depot, who publicly thanked Mr. Tunstill for his services in obtaining such a fine body of men. Two days later they were drafted to Frensham, near Aldershot, and ultimately became “A” Company of the 10th Battalion Duke of Wellington’s Regiment. Then followed a period of rigorous training in which the men acquitted themselves very creditably.
Meanwhile Mr. Tunstill had been offered and accepted a commission and was gazetted Captain in November, 1914. The Battalion went to France in August, 1915, and Captain Tunstill remained with the Company until October, 1916, when he was sent to England with a damaged knee and ankle. He became unfit for active service, but performed valuable work in connection with the training of recruits in England. He was mentioned in dispatches in December, 1916. The Company saw much fighting in France and also served with distinction in Italy.
CAPTAIN THOMAS HOWARTH PRESTON, East Lancashire Regiment, the only surviving son of the late John Preston and Mrs. Preston, of Mearbeck, Longpreston. He served through the South African War, receiving the Queen’s Medal with three clasps, and was mentioned in despatches. He was awarded the Royal Geographical Society’s Diploma in 1913. His only brother, 2nd Lieut. J. S. Preston, 1st Bn. Royal Scots, died at Dewetsdorp, during the South African War. Captain Preston was killed in action in Flanders on November 17th, 1914, and was 34 years of age.
CAPTAIN WILLIAM J. STACKHOUSE, eldest son of the late Major Stackhouse, J.P., of Ingfield Hall, Settle, and Mrs. Stackhouse, of the Grange, Casterton, Kirby Lonsdale, and husband of Theodora Charlotte Stackhouse, of “Laguna,” Suffolk Rd., Bournemouth. This gallant officer, the owner of a considerable estate in the Settle district, was killed in action in France on March 12th, 1915, aged 32 years, and his death plunged one of the oldest families in the neighbourhood into mourning. Captain Stackhouse was born in 1883, educated at Harrow and Sandhurst, whence he gained a commission in the 4th Lancashire Fusiliers, and when the latter Regiment was disbanded in 1906, he was offered a Lieutenancy in the 2nd Sherwood Foresters (Notts and Derby). He received his captaincy in 1913. Prior to going to the front in October, 1914, the deceased officer was Adjutant to the 10th Bn. Of a cheery and kindly nature, he was extremely popular with his men, ever ready to help and encourage them, and his delightful personality made him a host of friends. He was a keen sportsman, polo, shooting and motoring being his favourite recreations.
2ND LIEUT. GERALD KIRK (The King’s Own Lancaster) Regiment (Territorials) a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Kirk, of Greenwood Leghe, Ingleton. When the war broke out, Gerald Kirk joined the King’s Own Lancashire Territorials as a private. He was quickly marked out for promotion, and a commission was offered to him before he had completed his training and embarked for the front. He met his death in the fierce fighting in France on April 24th, 1915, and the news was received with general regret in the Ingleton district, where he was a popular figure and a general favourite. He was a clean and clever sportsman. In particular, he loved Association football, and was identified for many years with the Ingleton Football Club as Captain, in which capacity he frequently led his men to victory. At the invitation of the Bradford City Club he played with that combination as an amateur at centre half; later he played for Leeds City, after which he again threw in his lot with the Ingleton Club and remained with them after taking up his residence at Warton. The deceased officer was one of the original promoters of the Ingleton Conservative Club, and acted as its first Hon. Secretary until his removal to the Carnforth district. The same qualities he exhibited on the football field were prominent on the field of battle. On March 9th, 1916, at St. Mary’s Church, Ingleton, a memorial tablet to the deceased officer’s memory was unveiled by the Vicar (the Rev. J. Llewellyn). It bears the following inscription:--“In loving memory of Gerald Kirk, 2nd Lieut., 5th Bttn. King’s Own Royal Lancaster Regt., son of Alfred S. and Isabella Kirk, of Greenwood Leghe, Ingleton. Born July 14th, 1883; died at Poperinghe, Belgium, April 24th, 1915, of wounds received at St. Julien the previous day. This tablet is erected by his wife.”
