Carew Belle

SEPTEMBER 23RD. - TENBY, PEMBROKESHIRE.

At eleven in the morning the coastguard reported a small yacht in distress one mile to the south-east of Tenby lookout. A strong north-west breeze was blowing and the sea was choppy. The motor life-boat John R. Webb was launched at 11.30 and found a small yacht, Carew Belle, being blown out to sea. She had four on board. The life-boat also found another small sailing boat from Lydstep, with her sails blown away. She had three on board. The life-boat brought in both boats, arriving at 12.45 that afternoon. A message of appreciation was received from the R.A.F. to whom the yacht Carew Belle was attached. - Rewards, £18 15s..
