Falmouth, Cornwall.—During the afternoon of the 15th October, 1938, the St.

Anthony coastguard reported a motor yacht on fire about two miles south of Portscatho. The wind was light and the sea smooth. The motor life-boat B.A.S.P. was launched at 4.10 P.M., but before she reached the yacht—the Redhead, bound for London—the people on board had taken to the yacht's dinghy and had been picked up by a motor boat. The life-boat took them ashore and returned to her station at 5.10 P.M.—Rewards, £9 195. 6d..
