Falmouth, Cornwall.—At 7.45 in the morning, on the 17th of September, 1950, it was reported that a boat was drifting out to sea from the Helford River. At 8.15 the life-boat Crawford and Constance Conybeare was launched, in a heavy sea with a westerly wind blowing. She found a pontoon with a canvas awning a mile off the river.

No one was on board. The life-boat therefore towed the pontoon to Fal- mouth harbour and reached her station again at 10.31.—Property Salvage Case: Rewards, £2 Is. 6d..
