FEBRUARY 15TH. - FALMOUTH, CORNWALL.

The naval authorities reported to the life-boat station that at nine o’clock the previous evening a small launch had left the naval pier. Anxiety was felt for the safety of the officer and two men on board her.

Naval craft had already searched for her but without success. The sea was smooth, but there was a thick fog. At two o’clock in the morning the motor life-boat Crawford and Constance Conybeare was launched. She went first to No. 5 Buoy, the destination of the launch, but did not find her. She then searched towards the harbour mouth and Found her near St. Anthony Lighthouse, where she had made fast alongside a tug to wait for the fog to lift. The life-boat returned, with the officer on board, arriving at 4.30. - Rewards, £13 14s. 6d.
