Emulate

AUGUST 5TH. - PEEL, ISLE OF MAN.

At about 8 in the morning the coastguard reported that the fishing boat Emulate, of Kirkcaldy, was in difficulties about four miles W.N.W. of Peel, and the motor life-boat Helen Sutton was launched at 9 A.M. A N.W. wind was blowing, with a rough sea.

The life-boat soon saw that the Emulate had been taken in tow by another fishing boat, the Protect Us, and returned to the bay.

There she stood by until all the fishing boats had got in safely, and returned to her station at 2.35 P.M. - Rewards, £7 13s.
