Appledore, Devon.—During the afternoon of the 29th March the motor barge Invincible, of Appledore, was swamped when between Middle Ridge and Bar Buoy in the Torridge estuary. She carried a crew of three, and was bound for Appledore, laden with sand. The Westward Ho coastguard reported that she was flying distress signals, and the motor life-boat V.C.S. was launched at 4.40 P.M. She found the barge submerged, rescued the three men, one of whom had been injured by being thrown against the companion by a heavy sea, and returned to her station at 5.5 P.M.—Rewards, £9 6s. Qd..
