Clyro

— The motor life-boat Lily Glen—Glasgow was launched at 12.30 A.M. on the 14th August in response to a telephone message from Culzean Castle Maidens that the steam trawler Clyro, of Milford Haven, was ashore. A moderate W.N.W. wind was blowing, with a fairly heavy swell. The Clyro carried a crew of twelve, with two passengers, and was bound from Ayr to the fishing grounds. The life-boat arrived to find that six had landed, and that the remainder of the crew were on board or in the ship's boat alongside. The vessel was holed, and at the skipper's request the life-boat stood by. At 10 A.M. a tug arrived, but the life-boat was asked to remain, until 2 P.M.

As her presence was then felt to be no longer necessary, she returned to her station.—Rewards, £13 2s. 6d..
