A Steamer (7)
FEBRUARY 16TH. - NEWQUAY, AND PADSTOW, CORNWALL. A steamer had been mined ten miles N.E. of Trevose Head, and the Padstow life-boat put out in the early morning to search. Other vessels helped, but nothing was found except a barrage balloon floating in the sea. Late at night the Newquay life-boat was sent out to look for a ship’s boat from the same steamer, but did not find her. - Rewards : Newquay, £35 18s. 3d. ; Padstow, partly permanent paid crew, £13 6s. 6d..
