Sorata

Falmouth, Cornwall. — At 9.15 on the night of the 9th of September, 1951, the St. Anthony coastguard telephoned that a yacht three miles south-east-by-south of St. Anthony Point was flying a flag and using only one of her sails. At 9.30 the life-boat Crawford and Constance Conybeare was launched. The sea was heavy with an easterly wind blowing. The life- boat found the yawl Sorata, with a crew of three, bound for Shoreham, her sails torn and her engine broken down. She towed her to Falmouth harbour and reached her station again at 11.30.—Rewards, £5 5s..
