Penlee, Cornwall. — At 12.40 in the afternoon of the 7th of June, 1948, the Porthleven coastguard telephoned that a man was in the sea, shouting for help, eight hundred yards east of Porthleven pier. The motor life-boat W. and S.

was launched at 12.45. A moderate southerly breeze was blowing and the sea was rough. The life-boat found a man and a woman. Both were uncon- scious and all attempts to revive them failed. Owing to the bad weather the life-boat took the bodies to Newlyn, arriving at 4.30, and returned to her station the next day.—Rewards, £15 14s. 6d..
