The Berry Head coastguard reported by telephone at 10.25 P.M. on the 3rd August that a small sailing yacht was close to the Outer Cod Rock, on which one of the crew of two had landed before dusk.

Flashes were seen from the rock, and at 10.45 P.M. the motor life-boat George Shee put out with the honorary secre- tary, Mr. H. M. Smardon, on" board.

She found the small cutter yacht Mitzie, of Brixham, near the rock, with one boy aboard and another on the rock. They said that they were fishing, and seemed unaware that they were in danger. With the aid of the life- boat's searchlight the boy on the rock got aboard the boat, and she was taken back to Brixham. The boys expressed regret at the trouble they had given the coastguard and life-boatmen.— Rewards, £8 2s..
