Carron

Douglas, Isle of Man.—At 5.40 in the evening of the 7th of September, 1951, the S.S. Lady of Man reported to the Ramsey coastguard that she had seen a cabin cruiser in distress about thirteen miles south-east of Douglas and that the cruiser had asked for help. At 6.10 the life-boat Millie Walton was launched in a smooth sea, found the cabin cruiser, the Carron, of Port St. Mary, with a crew of three, eleven miles east-south-east of Douglas Head, with her engine broken down, and towed her to Douglas, arriving back at her station again at 9.40 that night.—Rewards, £11 6s..
