Sennen Cove, Cornwall.—At 7.5 on the morning of the 20th of July, 1952, information was received from the coastguard that a yacht had burned a red flare four to five miles north- north-west of Tol-Pedn-Penwith. The life-boat Susan Ashley was launched at 7.30 in a smooth sea with a light north- westerly wind blowing, and found the seventeen-ton auxiliary sailing yacht Morena about three-quarters of a mile north of The Longships. She was on passage from Dartmouth to Falmouth with a crew of three, but had lost her way during the night. The life-boat towed the yacht clear of The Long- ships reef and towards Mounts Bay, but when off Lamorna a favourable breeze sprang up and the Morena decided to make for Falmouth alone.

The life-boat returned to her station, which was reached at 12.15. The owners made a gift to the life-boat crew.—Rewards, £18 18s..
