Torbay, Devon.—At 8.30 A.M. on the 4th August, 1938, information was received from a resident of Three Beaches that a small yacht, anchored off Goodrington Beach, appeared to be in difficulties and in a dangerous position. There was a terrific thunderstorm raging at the time, with a moderate northerly wind and a moderate sea. The motor life-boat George Shee was launched at 8.45 A.M. She found that a motor boat had already got to the yacht and taken her in tow.

Escorted by the life-boat, the motor boat towed the yacht into Paignton Harbour. The life-boat was ready for service again at 11.30 A.M.—• Rewards, £3 11s. 6d..
