Appledore, Devon.—At 11.5 in the morning, on the 17th of January, 1951, a motor barge was seen burning flares off Crow Point. At 11.15 the life-boatViolet Armstrong was launched in a very rough sea with a north-westerly- gale blowing. She found the barge was the Rowena, of Barnstaple, with a crew of two, anchored with her engines waterlogged. The life-boat towed her to Appledore Harbour, and reached her station again at 12.10 in the afternoon.—Rewards, £9 3s..
