MOTOR BOAT TOWED IN Torbay, Devon.—At 1.24 in the morning of the 18th of July, 1947, the Brixham coastguard reported that an SOS signal had been flashed close under Berry Head to the eastward, and the motor life-boat George Shee was launched at 1.50 in a light northerly breeze and slight sea. Three miles east-south-east of Berry Head she found the motor boat Peggy, of Brixham, returning to that harbour, with two men and two women on board. The petrol-pipe was choked and the engine had stopped." The life-boat towed her in, arriving back at her station at 3.10.

The owner of the Peggy expressed his thanks and made a donation to the funds of the Institution.—Rewards, £2 6*..
