On the morning of the 9th September four young visitors put out in an outboard motor boat.

They had not returned by 2.30 P.M., and some anxiety was felt. Enquiries were made along the coast, and the Cadgwith coastguard reported that a boat answering to the description of the missing boat was about one and a half miles west of Blackhead, on a lee shore. A strong east breeze was blow- ing, with a rough sea, and the motor life-boat The Three Sisters was launched at 3 P.M., in case her help was wanted.

She found that the boat had had engine trouble, and had just been picked up by the life-boat's second coxswain, who was at sea in his motor boat. He was trying to tow her into safety. The life-boat took the crews of both boats on board and towed the boats into harbour. She returned to her station at 4.45 P.M.—Rewards, £6 2*..
