Just after 6 P.M. on the 7th January the coast- guard telephoned that a vessel had stranded about half a mile west of Sewer Mill Cove. The motor life-boat Alfred and Clara Heath found the steam trawler Charter, of Lowestoft, fast aground. She carried a crew of ten and had been fishing out of Plymouth.

The life-boat stood by until the crew got ashore and then returned to her station, arriving back at 8.40 P.M. The weather at the time was fine, with a fresh S.W. wind and a ground-swell. Two Looe fishing boats, who had seen the stranding of the trawler, left their fishing to give information. The masters of these boats were thanked and awarded £ 1 each.—Rewards, £17 9s..
