Silveium

Cloughey, Co. Down. — During the night of the 2nd June a small yacht was seen to be in difficulties off North Rock, and the motor life-boat William Maynard was launched at 11.5 P.M. There was no wind, and the sea was smooth.

The life-boat found the yacht Silveium, with two men on board, aground among the North Rock group with her rudder jammed. She stood by and the Silveium floated off on the rising tide, but her owner found that he could not clear the rocks, and asked for a tow to a safe anchorage. The life-boat towed the yacht into Cloughey bay, and returned to her station at 3.15 A.M.— Rewards, £13 15s. 6d..
