FOUR MEN AND TWO WOMEN DRIFTING Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.—At 7.0 in the evening of the 17th of May, 1947, a resident at Sandbay telephoned that a cabin cruiser was drifting and making distress signals in the channel.

The motor life-boat Fifi and Charles was launched at 7.15 in a light westerly breeze and calm sea, and -found the local motor cruiser Stormcock, with four men and two women on board, one mile west of Sand Point. Her engine had broken down and the life-boat took her in tow. The cruiser's engine \vas re-started while she was being towed, the rope was cast off and the life-boat escorted her to the River Axe, arriving back at her station at 9.15.—Rewards, £11 14s..
