On the afternoon of 6th April the Honorary Secretary was told by the Coastguard at the Manacles that a small boat near Manacles Buoy wanted help. Her main- mast and sails had been carried away.

The Pulling and Sailing Life-boat Kate Walker was launched at 5.18 P.M., but when she was about one mile from the small boat, the latter was taken in tow by a trawler. The Life-boat arrived back at her Station at 7.50 P.M.— Rewards, £20 19,?. 6d..
