About 1.20 P.M. on the 29th July the Coxswain received a message from the Coastguard at Tor- quay that a motor boat was in distress off Ivy Cove. A very strong squally wind was blowing from the W.S.W., with a rough sea. The Motor Life-boat George Shee was launched, and found that the motor boat—which was the Commander, of Paignton, with seven inexperienced holiday-makers aboard—- had drifted into the middle of Tor Bay, where she had been picked up by the yacht Grey Goose. The Grey Goose towed the motor boat into Brixham Harbour, and the Life-boat accompanied them in.

A few minutes after she reached shore a sinai] yacht was seen making heavy weather about three or four miles off, and the Life-boat put out again. She failed to find the yacht, although inquiries were made of the Berry Head and Torquay Coastguard, and arrived back at her Station at 6 P.M.—Rewards, £4 Is..
