Seamew

Ramsey, We of Man.—At 8.40 in the evening of the 8th of September, 1948, the coastguard reported that the yacht Seamew, of Ramsey, with a crew of two, had left for Douglas that afternoon and had not arrived. The motor life- boat Lady Harrison was launched at 9.25 in a moderate west-south-west wind with a smooth sea. She found the Seamew four miles north-east of Ramsey harbour, drifting northwards with her engine broken down, and towed her to Ramsey, arriving at 2 o'clock the following morning.—Rewards, £22..
