AUGUST 15TH. - PORT ST. MARY, ISLE OF MAN. At 6.45 in the evening the rowing boat Seagull, of Port St. Mary, was seen to be flying a white handkerchief on an oar. She was two miles off Scarlett Point. A fresh to strong northerly off-shore wind was blowing.

The tide was ebbing. The motor life-boat Sir Heath Harrison was launched at 7.10, and four and a half miles south-east of the harbour came up with the rowing boat, which was being driven out to sea. Two people were on board, a cripple and a woman. Both were exhausted. The life-boat took them on board and, with their boat in tow, arrived back at 8.25. - Rewards, £20 5s..
