The S.S. Caudebec

Falmouth, Cornwall. —• About four o'clock in the afternoon of the 2nd ofFebruary, 1950, a message was received that a vessel was dragging and in danger of going on the rocks at Black Rock, in Falmouth Harbour. At 4.15 the life-boat Crawford and Constance Conybeare left her moorings in a heavy sea with a southerly gale. She found the s.s. Caudebec, of Havre, in ballast about two hundred yards off the rocks ; and at the master's request stood by until the wind moderated. She reached her station again at eight o'clock.— Rewards, £9 9s..
