John Bull
DE C . 8 T H . - TORBAY, DEVON. At 9 A.M. a message was received that the motor fishing boat John Bull, of Torquay, which had gone to sea the previous morning, had not returned. A fresh S.W. wind was blowing with a rough sea. At 9.45 A.M. the motor life-boat George Shee was launched, and found the fishing boat riding at anchor in rough seas, five miles N.E. of the Orestone with her engine broken down. During the night distress signals had been made but had not been seen from the shore. The two men on the fishing boat were knee deep in water and had been baling continuously. The lifeboat rescued the men and towed the John Bull to Torquay. She returned to her station at 2 P.M. A letter of thanks was received from the rescued men. - Rewards, £7 2s..
