FEBRUARY 1ST. - ST. IVES, CORNWALL.

At 4.6 P.M. the naval authorities at Penzance sent a message through the coastguard asking for the life-boat to go out with a doctor and bring in from a steamer shipwrecked men whom she had picked up. A fresh N.E.

breeze was blowing, with a slight sea. With a doctor and ambulance men on board, the motor life-boat Caroline Oates Aver and William Maine was launched at 4.30 P.M., and in the bay found the S.S. Isleman with ten men on board belonging to the S.S. Kia, of Gloucester, formerly of Estonia, whom she had rescued from the ship’s boat. The Kia had been attacked and left sinking, and her crew had abandoned her. The life-boat landed ten men and then went out and brought in a ship’s boat with a dead seaman aboard, returning to her station at 6.15 P.M.
