NOVEMBER 6TH. - CLOUGHEY, CO.

DOWN. At 9.47 at night the Tara coastguard reported a vessel in distress in the entrance to Strangford Lough. A light northeasterly breeze was blowing and the sea was calm, but it was very foggy. The motor lifeboat, Herbert John was launched at 10.30 and, after a long search, found the motor vessel Cranmere, of Poole, at 6.15 next morning, ashore at Green Island. She had a crew of seven and was bound for Belfast. Her master asked the coxswain to pass a line and to tow him off. The life-boat tried, but failed. The master then asked him to take off his crew as she was leaking. She took him and his crew to Portaferry, and then took him back to his vessel. She returned to her station at three in the afternoon. - Rewards, £35 10s. 6d..
