MARCH 5TH. - DOUGLAS, ISLE OF MAN.

During the afternoon the life-boat crew assembled as the fishing fleet was overdue, but their services were not needed until 7.15 in the evening. A strong north-north-west gale was then blowing, with a rough sea, and a report was received that the motor fishing boat Peveril, with a crew of four, had broken down. The motor life-boat Manchester and Salford was launched, and four miles south-east-by-east of Douglas Head found the Peveril with a fouled propeller.

The Peveril’s crew succeeded in clearing it, and she was able to make for home under her own power, escorted by the life-boat.

They arrived at nine o’clock. - Rewards, £18 3s..
