Sennen Cove, Cornwall. — On the afternoon of the 10th February the ketch Albatros, of Brest, which was weatherbound in Whitesand Bay, hoisted a distress signal. She carried a crew of four and a dog, and was bound with a cargo of coal from Cardiff for Audierne. A whole E.S.E. gale was blowing, with a very rough sea.

The weather was thick, with rain.

The motor life-boat The Newbons was launched at 4 P.M., and found the menand the dog in the ship's small boat.

The Albatros had disappeared, either foundered or blown out to sea. With some difficulty the men and the dog were rescued, and the life-boat returned to her station at 5.15 P.M.—Rewards, £16 14s. 9d..
