A Small Motor Boat
APRIL 21ST. - PORT ST. MARY, ISLE OF MAN. At 4.50 in the afternoon the life-boat motor-mechanic saw a small motor boat about three miles south-south-east of the harbour with a large piece of cloth fixed to a pole. At 5.15 the motor life-boat Sir Heath Harrison was launched. A strong northerly wind was blowing, with a choppy sea. The life-boat overtook the boat, which was being blown out to sea. Two men were on board. They were on a pleasure trip. Their engine had broken down and the boat had made a lot of water. The life-boat took the two men on board and, with their boat in tow, returned to Port St. Mary harbour, arriving at 6.10.- Rewards, £9 14s. 6d..
