On the 6th August the motor vessel Capable, of London, ran aground in Bigbury Bay in a dense fog, while bound to London with a cargo of stone.

She carried a crew of eight. The Master sent a man ashore, and the news was sent to Salcombe and Plymouth. The Salcombe Motor Life-boat Alfred and Clara Heath was launched at 2.45 P.M., and found the vessel badly aground among rocks. After standing by for some time she towed the Capable off and piloted her into Salcombe. But for the help given by the Life-boat she would undoubtedly have become a total wreck. The Plymouth Motor Life-boat Robert and Marcella Beck felt her way through the fog, found the Capable after the Salcombe Life-boat, and stood by while the Capable was being got off the rocks.—Rewards, Plymouth, £6 17s.
