DECEMBER 5TH. - TORBAY, DEVON. At 11.5 at night the Brixham coastguard reported that a vessel, anchored about a quarter of a mile north of Brixham breakwater, was making distress signals. A northerly breeze was blowing, and the sea was rough. The motor life-boat George Shee was launched at 11.35 and found the drifter Westward Ho, of Torquay. She had been herring-fishing, but had used up her fuel by keeping her engines running while she recovered her nets, and her anchor had failed to hold her. Her crew asked the life-boat to tow them to Brixham. This she did, and returned to her station at 12.15 the following morning. - Rewards, £12 9s..
