At about 8.35 P.M. on the 8th June, a telephone message was received from the coast- guard at St. Agnes that a small boat appeared to be in difficulties off St.

Agnes, and unable to make harbour.

A moderate N.N.E. breeze was then blowing, and the sea was rough. A little later the coastguard telephoned that the motor life-boat Caroline Par- sons was wanted, and she was launched at 9 P.M. She found the motor boat White Heather, of St. Agnes, with three men on board, about one hundred and fifty yards off the shore. She had run out of petrol, and the men were trying to keep the boat off the shore by oars.

They were taken into the life-boat and the White Heather was towed into St.

Ives. The life-boat arrived back at her station at one next morning.—Re- wards, £25 6s..
