Padstow, Cornwall.—On the evening of the 29th July the coastguard reported that a yacht was in distress in Constantine Bay. A strong S.W.

breeze was blowing, with a rough sea.

The No. 2 motor life-boat Princess Mary put out at 7.10 P.M., and found the motor fishing boat Only Two, of Newquay, anchored just clear of the breakers on a lee shore. She carried a crew of four. Both her engines had broken down and she was helpless and in great danger. A line was passed to her, and she and her crew were towed safely back to Padstow. The life-boat returned to her station at 10 P.M. The captain of the Only Two wrote a letter expressing his high appreciation of the life-boat's services and the kindness shown to him*—Rewards, £5 12s..
