A Fishing Boat Named Flossie

A small fishing-boat named the Flossie was seen to be in difficulties in Port Isaac Bay on the 30th May, a southerly gale having suddenly sprung up. The I occupant of the boat at once made for the shore, but the boat shipped so much water that his position became very perilous. The Life-boat Richard and Sarah was launched to the assist- ance of the man, and fell in with the boat about two miles to the northward she then stood by her until she suc- ceeded in getting into port in safety..
