Torbay, Devon.—At midnight on the 1st of September, 1953, the Brixham coastguard rang up to say that a man at Torcross had reported that a motor yacht was short of fuel and had anchored two hundred yards off the north end of Beesands. At 12.45 on the 2nd the life-boat George Shee put out in a slight sea and light south- westerly breeze. She found the 32- feet motor yacht Martinique, Avith acrew of three, and towed her to Brix- ham, reaching her station again at 5.15. The owner made a gift to the life-boatmen.—Rewards, £10 8s..
