Fowey, Cornwall. —• About eleven o'clock in the morning of the 8th of June, 1952, a message was received that a motor boat had reached Fowey and the owner had reported that his friend was missing in the 18-feet motor boat E.M. He had last seen him near Cannis Rock. The life-boat C.D.E.C. left her moorings, in a moderate sea with a light south- westerly breeze, towing a shore boat.

She found the E.M. at anchor between Cannis Rock and Gribben Head with a man on board. Her engine had broken down and she was making water. The life-boat towed her to Fowey, arriving at 12.5, where the rescued man was treated for shock by an ambulance man. A gift in grati- tude was sent to the Institution.—• Rewards, £5 5s..
