Fowey, Cornwall.—On the evening of the 16th of September, 1950, the yacht Black Maria, with no one on board, broke her moorings at Fowey. In a rough sea and a fresh south-westerly gale, she was swept up the harbour, striking the life-boat and several other small craft. At 7.30 the life-boat C.D.E.C. was launched and, extricat- ing the yacht from among some small boats, towed her to Wiseman's Stone.

Here she re-moored her. The life-boat reached her station again at nine o'clock.—Property Salvage Case..
