Carmela

Plymouth, Devon.—On the night of the 18th July flares were reported from the eastern end of the breakwater. A moderate S.S.W. gale was blowing, with a rough sea and heavy rain. The motor life-boat Robert and Marcella Beck put off at 11.50 P.M., and found the yacht Carmela, of London, in a dangerous position in Jennycliffe Bay. The master of the Carmela, which was bound for the Mediterranean, asked to be taken to a safe anchorage. The lifeboat piloted the yacht into Cattewater harbour, and returned to her station at 1.20 A.M.—Rewards, £9 Is..
