Stormcock, of Padstow

JULY 13TH. - CLOVELLY, DEVON. At 9.15 in the evening the Hartland Point coastguard reported a cabin cruiser apparently broken down, and at 9.30 the motor life-boat City of Nottingham was launched in a moderate north-westerly wind, with a moderate sea. She found the Stormcock, of Padstow, four miles east by north of Hartland Point, with three on board. They had lost their way and asked to be escorted to harbour. A lifeboatman was put on board and the life-boat escorted her to Clovelly, arriving at 11.20 that night. The owner made a donation to the Institution. - Rewards, £21 17s..
