Torbay, Devon.—At 6.15 P.M. on the 27th August the master of the motor boat White Heather reported that a motor boat was in a dangerous position under the cliff face at Berry Head, and that the two men on board were shouting for help. The weather was fine. The reserve motor life-boat City of Bradford I was launched at 6.20 P.M., and found the boat, but it was empty.

The life-boat towed it back to Brixham, and then, as no news had been received of the two men, put out again for Berry Head. On her way out she was stopped by the White Heather and told that the men had been rescued by another motor boat and taken to Torquay. The life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 8.45 P.M.—Rewards, £4 12s..
