The crab boat Mistletoe, of Clovelly, went off to haul the pots in the early morning of the 4th May, and when returning was overtaken by a gale. Men went to see if the boat could be seen, but it was not until 2 P.M. that it was reported that she was trying to make her way home under oars. When off Chapman's Rock the wind increased further, and the men on the watch saw that the boat had come to anchor. As the two men on board were in great danger, the Life- boat Elinor Bogct was launched and proceeded to them. On reaching the boat it was found that the men were in a very exhausted state, and had had great difficulty in keeping the boat afloat. The men were rescued and con- veyed into safety..
