MAY 15TH. - FALMOUTH, CORNWALL.

About 3.30 in the morning information was received from an officer at Feock, Truro River, that an Admiralty landing barge, L.C.P.R. 675, had stranded at Trefusis, Falmouth Harbour, and was showing signals of distress. A moderate easterly wind was blowing, with a heavy ground swell. The motor life-boat V.C.S., on temporary duty at the station, was launched at four o’clock, and reached the barge twenty minutes later. She found her with a crew of three on board and her engine broken down, passed a rope to her, towed her off and took her to St. Mawes, returning to her station at six o’clock.- Rewards, £6 19s. 9d..
