.—At 2.45 A.M., on the 13th March, the Coast- guard reported by telegram that flares were being burnt off Porthcurnow, close to the shore. The Life-boat Ann Newbon was launched, and when near Porth- curnow they observed a flare. They proceeded to the direction and fell in with a small boat containing four men.

The men stated they were the crew of the Brixham trawler Harry, which had gone ashore when proceeding to the fishing grounds, and had become a total wreck. The Life-boat brought the men and boat to Sennen Cove, which was reached at 9 A.M.

A heavy gale had been blowing during the night..
