Gilded Age

QUEENSTOWN.—Ofl the 27th October, at about 10.15 A.M., a telegram was received from the Coastguard Station, at Eobert's Cove, stating that a yacht was in distress off Cork Head. The Quiver Life-boat was promptly launched, and proceeded, in tow of a steam-tug, through a heavy sea to the vessel, which proved to be the yacht Gilded Age. On reaching her it was found that she had lost her rudder and both anchors, and had been dismasted. Her crew of 3 men were taken into the Life-boat, which also assisted to save the yacht, she being towed into harbour..
