On the morning of the 6th May it was reported that a distress signal had been hoisted on the s.s. Ocklinge, a steamer which had been wrecked on Lowland Point in March, 1932, and which had since been bought for breaking up. There were three men on board, and they had been marooned by bad weather for some days. A strong S. wind was blowing with a moderate ground swell, and it was raining, when the pulling and sailing life-boat Constance Melanie was launched at 8.20 A.M. She took off the men, who had lived on nothing but flour and water for two or three days, and landed them safely at Coverack. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 9.50 A.M.—Rewards, £10 9s. 6d..
