Replete
Sennen Cove, Cornwall.—The Brixham fishing boat Replete, with a crew of four, was trawling off the Wolf lighthouse on the night of the 14th July. She caught fire, and the crew, after trying to get the flames under control, had to abandon her in their small boat. The flames were seen from the shore, and the motor life-boat The Newbons was launched at 12.15 A.M. on the 15th. A moderate N.N.W. breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. The life-boat found the Replete ablaze from stem to stern. Her crew had gone on board another Brixham boat. They were transferred to the life-boat, which stood by until, at 4.30 A.M., the Replete sank. The men were then landed at Sennen and the life-boat returned to her station at 7 A.M. The skipper of the Replete wrote to the coxswain thanking the life-boat's crew—Rewards, £15 8s. 6d..
