Salcombe, Devon. — Late on the night of the 7th of August, 1952, a report was received that flares had been seen, and at 11.25 the life-boat Samuel and Marie Parkhouse was launched, with the honorary secretary, Commander A. C. Roberts, on board.

A light south-westerly wind was blow- ing with a moderate sea. The life- boat found the seven-ton cabin cruiser La Corbieri, of Salcombe, one mile south-east of Bolt Head, with a party of seven on board, disabled by an engine breakdown. The life-boat brought her to Salcombe, which was reached at 12.45 in the morning. A donation to the funds of the Institu- tion was received from the owner.— Rewards, £6 16s..
