Coverack, Cornwall. — 14th August, 1939. A motor yacht was on fire amile E. by N. of Dollar Point, but when the life-boat arrived her crew of five had already taken to their boat and had been picked up by a fishing boat.

The life-boat took the burning yacht in tow and beached her, but the fire could not be extinguished as she was a wooden vessel, and she was completely burned.
