Barry Dock, Glamorganshire. — On the evening of the 31st August the police reported, through the Royal Naval Shore Signal Station, that a small yacht was in distress off Lavernock Point. She was the motor cruiser Martaban, of Cardiff, with seven men on board, and her engines had broken down. A moderate W.N.W. breeze was blowing, with a slight sea. The motor life-boat Prince David was launched at 8.45 P.M., towed the Martaban to Barry harbour, and returned to her station at 11.20 P.M. A donation was received in thanks for the service.—Rewards, £10 6*..
