Juta, of Glasgow

OCTOBER 7TH. - TENBY, PEMBROKESHIRE.

At 4.55 in the morning the coastguard telephoned that a vessel was making distress signals between three and five miles to the south-west-by-west. The weather was calm, but there was fog. At 5.23 the motorlife- boat John R. Webb was launched, but at six o’clock the ship - the Juta, of Glasgow, with a crew of twenty - sank south-southeast of Caldy Island, and the minesweeper Larch picked up her crew. The life-boat arrived, and the twenty men were put on board her. She reached her station again at 7.23 that morning. - Rewards, £12 15s. 6d..
