Fauvette, of London

FEBRUARY 3RD. - COVERACK, CORNWALL. At 6.5  in the morning a  man reported a steamer in distress near Lowland Point, and the motor life-boat The Three Sisters was launched at 6.20. A strong westsouth- westerly wind was blowing, with a rough sea. She found the motor vessel Fauvette, of London, aground one mile east-by-north of the life-boat station. She had a crew of nineteen and was bound for Falmouth, laden with ammunition. The life-boat stood by for a time, but as the tide was falling, and the crew would be able to get ashore at low water, she returned to her station at 9.15. - Rewards, £12 12s. 6d.
