DOWN. At five o’clock in the afternoon it was learned that a yacht was in distress off the Copeland Islands in Belfast Lough. A south-south-east gale was blowing, with a very rough sea. The motor life-boat Civil Service No. 5 was launched at 5.15 and found the yacht Trefoil, of Donaghadee. She had two men onboard, one of them very exhausted. The life-boat took them off the yacht and, with the yacht in tow, reached Donaghadee at 6.20. - Rewards, £4 14s. 6d.
