Exmouth, Devon.—At 11.25 on the night of the 10th of August, 1949, the coastguard reported that a racing dinghy, with two men on board, had left Sidmoutb at 8.20 for Beer, but had not been seen since. A search was made by a Beer fishing boat, but she found nothing, and at twenty minutes after midnight the life-boat Catherine Harriet Eaton was launched. A fresh westerly wind was blowing and the sea was choppy. The life-boat searched for over seven hours and at eight o'clock in the morning found the boat three miles south-east of Seaton. She had capsized in a squall the previous night at 9.25. Her crew had cut away the mast and sail and succeeded in righting her, but she was waterlogged. The life-boat rescued the men, landed them at Sidmouth and towed the dinghy to Exmouth, where she arrived at 10.35, after having been out for over ten hours. A large and enthusiastic crowd awaited her and a collection realized £30.—Rewards, £38 17s..
