Gleaner, of Penzance

Penlee, Cornwall.—On the night of the 19th June a message was received that a boat was ashore near Carn Dhu, Lamorna Bay. There was no wind and the sea was smooth, but there was a very thick fog. The motor life-boat W. and S. was launched at 11.20 P.M., and after a search found the motor fishing boat Gleaner, of Penzance, with a crew of five. The Gleaner had been ashore, but had refloated and was leaking. The life-boat escorted her into Newlyn harbour and returned to her station at 4.30 A.M.—Rewards, £12 2s..
