Golden Arrow

SEPTEMBER 15TH. - RHYL, FLINT-SHIRE. During the afternoon it was learned from the coastguard that the local fishing smack Golden Arrow, which had gone out the previous evening with a crew of two, had not been seen since, and after unsuccessful enquiries had been made the motor life-boat The Gordon Warren was launched at 7.10 P.M. A strong W.N.W. wind was blowing, with a rough sea. The life-boat found the Golden Arrow five miles W.N.W. of Rhyl. She had lost her propeller, and her sails had been carried away. The life-boat rescued the two men on board her and returned to her station, arriving at 8.25 P.M.
