Peveril

FEBRUARY 10TH. - DOUGLAS, ISLE OF MAN. At 3.30 P.M. a fisherman returned to port and reported to the harbour master that the motor fishing boat Peveril, of Douglas, with a crew of three, was still at sea. As half a gale of wind was blowing from the N.E., with a rough sea, he was very doubtful if she could make harbour without help. As the fishing boat had not returned by 6 P.M. the motor life-boat Manchester and Salford was launched, and found the Peveril about four miles S.E. by S. of Douglas Head. She was able to make progress and, escorted by the life-boat, she reached harbour at 6.30 P.M.- Rewards, £11 13s. 3d..
