MARCH 30TH. - CLOVELLY, DEVON. At 8.55 P.M. the naval authorities at Appledore asked the life-boat to go to a vessel flying signals of distress two miles east of Clovelly.

A moderate W.N.W. gale was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat City of Nottingham, was launched, with the help of women launchers, at 9.15 P.M. and twenty minutes later found the S.S. Cushendon, leaking badly, with an Admiralty trawler standing by. She asked the steamer to follow her closer in but the master replied that he had no steam. The life-boat stood by until nearly one next morning. By that time things had improved ; the master said that he no longer needed help ; and the lifeboat returned to her station, arriving at 1.15 A.M - Rewards, £27 18s. 6d..
