The steam trawler Omer Denise, of Ostend, while in ballast from Ostend to the fishing grounds, ran on the rocks at Meres, near Coverack, on the 4th March. A moderate E.N.E. breeze was blowing with a moderate sea, and it was misty. The Coastguard informed the Life-boat Stations at Coverack and Cadgwith. The Coverack Pulling and Sailing Life-boat Constance Melanie was launched at 4.15 A.M. and the Cadgwith Pulling and Sailing Life- boat Minnie Moon at 5.40 A.M. The Coverack boat arrived first, but found that the crew of the Omer Denise had deserted her. The Cadgwith Life-boat while on her way to the wreck saw the men, six in number, drifting helplessly in a small punt towards the tide race about a mile below Blackhead Point and took them aboard. They were rescued only just in time, as the punt, which was overloaded and waterlogged, could not have kept afloat more than a few minutes longer.—Eewards, Cadg-.
