Zamorin

Donaghadee, Co. Down. — About 10.10 on the morning of the 12th of July, 1952, a yacht was observed burning distress signals at Copeland Island, and information was received from the coastguards and police. At 10.35 the life-boat Sir Samuel Kelly was launched in a choppy sea, with a westerly breeze blowing, and found the yacht Zamorin, fast on the rocks at Gordan's Bush, Copeland Island. She was in a very dangerous position, but with some difficulty she was pulled clear, and towed, together with her crew of three, to Donaghadee, arriving there at 11.45.—Rewards, £5 16s..
