AUGUST 11TH. - FOWEY, CORNWALL.

At 12.58 in the morning, the police reported that a yacht which had put out at one o’clock on the previous afternoon, had not returned.

She had five on board. A north-westerly breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. At 1.15 the motor life-boat C.D.E.C. was launched, found the yacht between two and three miles south-south-east of Polruan and towed her in, arriving back at her station at 4.45 that morning. - Rewards, £8 15s..
