Beryl

Two men had gone out fishing on the 6th November, in the motor fishing boat Beryl, of Appledore, but had not returned.

At 10.40 P.M. on the 7th, with moder- ate E. breeze blowing and a moderate sea, the Motor Life-boat V.C.S. was launched and searched over the Clovelly fishing grounds but without success.

She then put into Clovelly and learned that a light could be seen in the direction of Hartland Point. She put out again and found the Beryl at Mill Mouth, between Clovelly and Hartland. Her engine had failed and the men had be,en waiting all day for help. They were taken on board the Life-boat and brought into Appledore, with the Beryl in tow.—Rewards, £19 9s. 6d..
