Fowey, Cornwall.—At 7.5 on the even- ing of.the 3rd of July, 1954, the Polruan coastguard telephoned that the local motor launch Acorn, which had a crew of four, had broken down off Blackbottle Head and was drifting towards a lee shore. At 7.15 the life- boat C.D.E.C. put out in a calm sea with a moderate west-north-west breeze blowing. It was nearly high water. A speed boat also put out, and reaching the Acorn before the life- boat, passed a line to her. The life- boat took the line over and towed the Acorn to Fowey, arriving at 8.10. The skipper of the launch made a donation to the funds of the Institution.— Rewards, £5 5*..
