Nov. 16TH. - MINEHEAD, SOMERSET.

The motor fishing boat Margaret, which had gone to sea at daybreak, had not returned by 12.30 P.M. and anxiety was felt for her safety. A W.S.W. wind was blowing, with a rough sea. At 1.10 P.M. the motor life-boat Kate Greatorex was launched, and found the Margaret about three miles offshore, completely disabled and drifting, with her engine flooded. One of her crew of three was prostrate with sea-sickness and exposure.

The life-boat towed her in and returned to her station at 3 P.M. - Rewards, £9 15s. 6d..
