A Carley Float

APRIL 16TH. - COVERACK, CORNWALL.

At 7.35 P.M. the coastguard reported an object on the sea in a south-easterly direction from Blackhead, and at 7.40 P.M. the motor life-boat The Three Sisters was launched.

A light easterly wind was blowing and the sea was smooth. A mile and a half south of Blackhead the life-boat found a Carley float, with no one on board. She signalled Blackhead lookout, learned that this was the object to which she had been called out, and with the float in tow returned to Coverack, arriving at 9.25 P.M. - Rewards, £11 1s..
