Antilope

ON THE MANACLE ROCKS Falmouth, Cornwall.—At 3.30 in the afternoon of the 10th of March, 1947, a message came that the motor vessel Antilope, of Groningen, had struck the Manacle Rocks. A fresh southerly breeze was blowing, the sea was rough, and there was a thick fog. The motor life-boat Crawford and Constance Cony- beare, was launched half an hour later with the harbour-master and a pilot on board, and came up with the vessel one mile south of Falmouth Harbour. She had a crew of seven and was bound for Runcorn. She was making water, and the harbour-master and pilot were put on board. The life-boat stood by until she had been beached in the harbour and then returned to her station at 5.30.—Rewards, £8'..
