Penlee, Cornwall.—During the night of the 22nd April, 1938, the coastguard at Penzer Point telephoned that a fishing boat was in distress about two miles S.S.W. of the point. A north breeze was blowing, with a smooth sea.

The motor life-boat W. and S. was launched at 10.45 P.M., and found the steam fishing boat Pioneer, of Penzance, with a crew of two, at anchor. She had lost her propeller. The life-boat towed her into Newlyn Harbour, and returned to her station at 12.30 A.M.—Rewards, £11 9s..
