OCTOBER 11TH. - ST. IVES, CORNWALL.

At 1.45 in the afternoon the coastguard reported three tugs, with floating cranes in tow, dragging their anchors in St. Ives Bay, and drifting towards the Stones Reef, off Godrevy Point. A south-west gale was blowing, with a very rough sea. One tug was seen to go on her way, but the motor life-boat Caroline Oates Aver and William Maine was launched at 2.23 to go to the help of the other two. They were the American tugs L.T.23 and L.T.61 She stood by the tugs until they had got out of their dangerous position and, aided by a change of wind to the west, had regained the shelter of St. Ives Bay. She reached her station again at 4.10.
