ENGINE FAILED Padstow, Cornwall.—At 3.55 in the afternoon of the llth of May, 1947, information was received from the coastguard at Trevose Head that a small boat off Bude was firing red rockets, and the No. 1 motor life-boat Princess Mary left her moorings at '4.25 in a light north-north-east wind, with a slight sea. She found a motor launch, with a crew of two, in tow of the fishing boat Patricia. The rope had parted once and the life-boat took over the tow, after supplying the fishing boat with paraffin to enable her to make for Appledore. The motor launch had been on her way from Plymouth to Weston-super-Mare when her engine failed. The life-boat put a life-boatman on board to help her crew, and then towed her to Padstow, arriving at 11.20 that night.—Rewards, £7 17s. 6d..
