Feasible

Fishguard, Pembrokeshire.—6th January.

Shortly after 11.30 A.M. information was received through the coastguard that the drifter Feasible, of Lowestoft, was in distress off Strumble Head. A moderate S.W.gale was blowing, with a very heavy sea. The motor life-boat White Star was launched and went to the position given, but, finding nothing, proceeded to search towards St. David's Head.

Here information was obtained from a trawler with wireless that a trawler had reached the disabled Feasible, which was near the Smalls, and that the services of the life-boat would not be required. She returned to her station at 3.45 P.M. An increase in the usual money awards on the standard scale was made to the crew of the life-boat.—Rewards, £12 105..
