Padstow, Cornwall.—At 3.32 in the afternoon of the 17th of June, 1950, the coastguard telephoned that a naval Sea Otter seaplane had made a forced landing in Porthcothan Bay, and was attempting to taxi to Padstow. At 4.15 the No. 1 life-boat Princess Mary was launched in a slight sea, with a moderate west-north-west breeze blow- ing. She escorted the seaplane to moorings in Hawkers Cove, and reached her station again at 5.10.—Rewards, £3 15s..
