Two Brothers and Carrie

Fowey, Cornwall.—At two o'clock on the afternoon of the 1st of October, 1956, the Polruan coastguard tele- phoned that a yacht was ashore at Black Head west of Charlestown. At 2.20 the life-boat Deneys Reitz put out.

The sea was smooth, there was a mod- erate southerly breeze, and the tide was flooding. The life-boat reached the position and found that the fishing vessel Two Brothers had taken the yacht Carrie in tow. The life-boat escorted both vessels into Mevagissey harbour and then returned to her station, arriving at 4.45.—Rewards to the crew, £10 12s. 6d..
