Actuosity

— On the night of the 21st October the Royal Naval Shore Signal Station at Nells Point telephoned that a vessel was ashore at Colhugh Point, and the motor life-boat Prince David was launched at 10.50 p.m. A moderate to strong S.S.W. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea and rain. The life-boat found that the vessel was the motor ship Actuosity, of London, bound in ballast from Cardiff to King's Lynn.

She was ashore in a bad position and the seas were driving her up the beach.

The life-boat stood by her until it was certain that her crew were not in any danger, and returned to her station at 4.50 A.M. on the 22nd.—Rewards, £16 2s. 6d..
