No. 155

JUNE 6TH. - THE LIZARD, CORNWALL.

At 8.40 A.M. a request came from the naval officer at Penzance, through the coastguard, asking for the life-boat to go to the help of the naval motor launch No. 155, and the motor life-boat Duke of York was launched at 9.14 A.M. The weather was foggy, with light winds and a calm sea. The life-boat found the launch ashore at Penvose, midway between Lloyd’s Station and Cadgwith, and it was feared that she might capsize. The life-boat returned to the Lizard and brought back cement and launching timbers. The motor launch was then shored up. She refloated later and was taken in tow for Falmouth by a naval salvage steamer. The life-boat returned to her station at 4.20 P.M.
