The No. 1 motor life-boat John and Sarah Eliza Stych was launched at 10.41 A.M. on the 9th July, as a telephone message had been received from the coastguard that a small sailing boat was drifting towards Pentire Head. A moderate W.S.W.

breeze was blowing with a slight swell.

The life-boat found the old St. Ives fishing boat May Flower anchored about 200 yards off Pentire Head, with one man aboard. The boat had left Pad- stow, where she had been laid up for about a year, in a fair wind, but had got into difficulties in a very dangerous position. The life-boat towed her clear of danger and then returned to her station, arriving back at 12 noon.— Rewards, £4 19s. Qd..
