NOVEMBER 29TH. - THE LIZARD, CORNWALL. The destroyer Javelin had been damaged in a naval engagement, and was on fire 15 miles S.E. of the life-boat station. After going out ten miles the lifeboat came within eight of the battle, asked for further instructions, and was told by the naval base to return to its station as the navy had its own boats on the spot. - Rewards, £15 6s.
