MAY 5TH. - FLEETWOOD, LANCASHIRE.

Early in the afternoon the auxiliary yacht Carlotta left Glasson Dock, with a party of five aboard, for a pleasure trip to the Isle of Man. She got into difficulties and anchored, and was reported by the Wyre Lighthouse to be dragging her anchor and drifting in a precarious position on the North Wharf. At 5.45 the motor life-boat Ann Letitia Russell was launched. A fresh north-easterly wind was blowing and the sea was rough. The lifeboat found the Carlotta four miles from the Wyre Lighthouse. She towed her into harbour, arriving at 8.5 that evening. A letter of thanks and a donation were received from the owner. - Rewards, £7 13s. 6d..
