Coverack, Cornwall.—At 12.30 A.M.

on the 22nd June the coastguard reported that four visitors, two men and two women, had put out in a motor boat during the previous afternoon and had not returned. A light breeze was blowing, and the sea was smooth.

Enquiries were made along the coast, but nothing could be learned, and the motor life-boat The Three Sisters was launched at 1 A.M. She found the motor boat, helpless owing to a broken propeller shaft, about a mile south of Blackhead. The four people were in a very distressed condition. The lifeboat took them on board and towed the boat back to harbour. She returned to her station at 2 A.M.—Rewards, £10 6s..
