SICK MAN LANDED Salcombe, South Devon;—At 10.20 on the night of the 14th of December, 1947, the Hope Cove coastguard, tele- phoned that the American steamer Thomas W. Owen, of Wilmington, was waiting ten miles due south of Prawle Point for a boat to land an injured man.

The motor life-boat Samuel and Marie Parkhouse was launched at half-past eleven in a smooth sea with a light north-easterly wind blowing. She took the man on board and as she approached the shore signalled that a doctor and ambulance would be needed. She arrived back at two in the morning.— Rewards, £11 8s..
