A Boat (3)

NOVEMBER 10TH. - FALMOUTH, CORNWALL.

Just before seven in the evening a message was received from the representative of a salvage company which was engaged in breaking up the wreck of the S.S. Marie Chandris, off Amsterdam Point, St. Anthony, saying that five of his men who were working on the ship could not get away in their boat as a gale was blowing from the south, with a  rough sea. At 7.20 the motor life-boat Crawford and Constance Conybeare was launched, took off the men and brought them ashore at 9 P.M. A gift, in thanks for this help was received from the salvage company.- Rewards, £11 14s..
