Padstow, Cornwall.—At 2.50 on the afternoon of the 30th of July, 1951, the Trevose Head Coastguard tele- phoned that he could see an object which he thought was a Carley float, with someone on it waving, about four miles west of Lower Sharpnose. At 3.20 the No. 1 life-boat Princess Mary left her moorings and two aeroplanes also joined in the search. The sea was calm, with a light east-north-east breeze blowing. One of the aeroplanes reported a cabin cruiser, with twomen on board, flying a white shirt three miles north-west of Lower Sharp- nose and dropped a smoke float to mark the position. The life-boat found the boat with little petrol, and towed her to the life-boat station by 11.45 that night. No Carley float was found and the object first reported was the cabin cruiser.—Rewards, £13 2*..
