The Coast- guard reported at 3.10 A.M. on the 30th May that a vessel was ashore on the Gunwalloe Beach and within twenty minutes' time the Life-boat John Francis White was on her way to assist her. The weather was moderate but thick at the time. On reaching the vessel it was found that she had just got clear, but at the request of the captain one of the Life-boat men was placed on board to pilot the vessel to Penzance. It appeared that the ship had missed stays and struck the ground aft, damaging her rudder, but it could not be ascertained what further damage had been sustained. The vessel was the industrial training ship Polly, of Bristol, a brigantine of 200 tons, and she was cruising with about fifty persons on board..
