Yes signore replied the tall thin Italian Consular-clerk speaking with a strong accent. An English steam yacht ran aground on the Meloria about ten miles out and was discovered by a fishing-boat who brought the news to harbor. The Admiral sent out two torpedo-boats which managed after a lot of difficulty to bring in the yacht safely but the Captain of the Port has a suspicion that the crew were trying to make away with the vessel.
