Torbay, Devon.-—Early in the after- noon, on the 26th of September, 1950, the Berry Head coastguard reported a small motor boat apparently broken down. The occupants were waving to attract attention. At 2.5 the life-boat George Shee put out in a choppy sea with a northerly breeze, and found the motor boat Dragonfly, of Torquay, half a mile off Berry Head. Her crew of two had managed to get her engine to function, but were heading for the broken water of a tide race. The life- boat headed them off and escorted the motor boat to Torquay Harbour, in case her engine failed again. She reached her station again at 4.5. The owner expressed thanks and made a gift.—Rewards, £5 13s..
