St. Ives, Cornwall.—On the 16th August, 1938, the motor life-boat John and Sarah Eliza Stych was on passage from St. Ives to Falmouth for overhaul.

A strong W.N.W. breeze was blowing, with a choppy sea. As the life-boat entered Falmouth Roads at about 3.45 P.M. she was signalled by a man who was alone in the rowing boat Boy Sam, of Falmouth. He could not row against wind and tide and was in danger of being blown out to sea. The life-boat took him on board and towed his boat to a point near the Old Harbour from which he could easily reach the pier. The life-boat then went to her moorings.—No' rewards ; crew paid for taking life-boat to Falmouth..
