The S.S. Cornish Rose, of Liverpool, bound from Fowey to Preston, with a crew of nine, got into difficulties when about twenty-one miles north of Pendeen on the evening of the 6th December. Her fires had been extinguished by heavy seas, and her steering-gear had been damaged.

She was taken in tow by another steamer, and anchored in Mount's Bay on the evening of the 7th. Early next morning she started a bad leak, and once more fired signals for help. News of the signals were received from the coastguard, and the motor life-boat W. & S. was launched at 5.20 A.M. A moderate W.N.W. breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. The master of the Cornish Rose did not wish to aban- don ship, but asked the life-boat for a tow into Newlyn harbour. The life- boat towed her in, and returned to her station at 3 P.M., after having been on service for nearly ten hours.—Property Salvage Case..
