Salcombe, Devon.—At 5.50 on the morning of the 26th of September, 1953, the Hope Cove coastguard rang up to say that a sailing boat wassignalling for help half a mile south- west of Prawle Point. At 6.5 the life-boat Samuel and Marie Parkhouse was launched. The sea was smooth, with a light breeze blowing. The life- boat found the yacht Cerise, of South- ampton, with a crew of six, two miles south-south-east of Prawle. She was drifting, and the life-boat towed her to Salcombe, reaching her station again at 8.45.—Rewards, £6 11s..
