Dorothy
On the night of the 20th October the fishing boat Wenden came in and reported that the motor fishing boat Dorothy was in trouble off Berry Head, with her propeller fouled by nets. Her two occupants had asked for the motor trawler Cygnet to go out and tow them in, but it was found impossible to start the Cygnet's engine, and the Motor Life-boat George Shee was launched at 10.15 P.M. A strong S.W. gale was blowing, with a very rough sea and heavy rain squalls. The Life-boat found the Dorothy at anchor in a very exposed position, unable to make headway against the gale. A line was put on board, and she was towed into Brixham Harbour.—Rewards, £14 7s. 6d..
