Tarka

JUST IN TIME Weymouth, Dorset.—At 8.30 in the morning of the 26th of September, 1947, the Grove Point coastguard re- ported that a motor boat had broken down, and that signals were being made by the people on board. The motor life-boat William and Clara Ryland left her moorings at 8.40 in a strong north-easterly wind with a rough sea, and found the motor boat Tarka, with two persons aboard, only twenty yards from the shore to the north-east of Grove Point. She towed the Tarka into Weymouth, arriving at 10.30.—Rewards, £5 5s..
