Fairwood

Fowey, Cornwall.—At 11.59 on the night of the 29th of July, 1956, it was reported that the yacht Fairwood was dragging her anchor close to the life-boat's moorings. The life-boat Cunard, on temporary duty at the station, put out. The sea was rough, and there was a fresh south-westerly gale and heavy rain. The life-boat towed the yacht up river to safer moorings and returned to her station at 1.30 on the 30th.—Rewards to the crew, etc., £7 2s. 6d..
