At 5 P.M. on the 15th October information was received from the coastguard that a vessel in the Gore Channel was flying a distress signal. The motor life-boat Lord Southborough (Civil Service No. 1) was launched at 5.20 P.M., and found the barge Teresa, of London, with a crew of three on board. Her steering-gear had been carried away and she was shipping a lot of water. A moderate N.N.W. gale was blowing, with a very heavy sea. It was impossible to save the barge, so her crew were taken off by the life-boat and she was abandoned.

The rescued men were landed at 6.40 P.M. and handed over to the care of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society.—• Rewards, £16 18s. Qd..
