Fowey, Cornwall.—At 5.35 on the evening of the 3rd of November, 1953, a shipping company at Par reported that they had received a message that the motor ship Summity, of London, had asked for help as she had broken down half a mile south of Dodman Head. At 6.3 the life-boat C.D.E.C.

put out in a calm sea and fresh westerly breeze. She remained with the Summity until a tug arrived to take her in tow, and then returned to her station, arriving at 10.45.—Re- wards, £12 5s..
