Ken
Fowey, Cornwall.—On the 5th September two men and two women, visitors to Polruan, put out from Polruan in the hired motor boat Ken to go for a trip to the beach on the west side of Atlantic Bay. When the motor boat neared the beach a heavy swell carried her on to the rocks, at the foot of very high and almost sheer cliffs, where she was bumping heavily.
One of the party managed, with great difficulty, to scale the cliff, and went for help." The motor life-boat C.D.E.C.
was launched at 1.49 P.M., taking a small boat with her. A moderate S.S.E. breeze was blowing, with a heavy ground swell. Three of the crew manned the small boat, and rowing in, rescued the two women and the man. Then, taking the Ken in tow, the life-boat returned with them to Fowey. She got back to her station at 2.55 P.M.—Rewards, £4 7s. 6d..
