Torbay, Devon.—At 1.55 in the afternoon of the 6th of September, 1948, the Brixham coastguard tele- phoned that a motor cruiser was on fire three-quarters of a mile south- south-west of Berry Head, and the motor life-boat George Shee was launched at 2.10 in a light north-north- west breeze with a calm sea. She found the motor cruiser Cartaret. The engine-room had caught fire and the owner and another man had taken to their dinghy. The life-boat took them on board and towed the Cartaret to St. Mary's where she was beached, arriving back at her station at 4.25.— Rewards, £4. 4s. 6d..
