The word "yellow" is probably superfluous.

chevin ?
Question Author
Thank you scotman. I agree the answer seems to be "chevin" aka "cheven", the chubb. Are you able to explain where the "che" comes from?
Question Author
I see I made a typo in the question. I should have said "yelled" is superfluous.
the only thing I can see here is that Looe is in Cornwall ie SW England. Chambers gives che as a SW dialect term for the pronoun 'I'.

So 'from Looe I yelled' = che

That is excellent scotman. Very many thanks.
