Ibis

Fowey, Cornwall.—At 2.30 on the morning of the 2nd of September, 1954, the Polruan coastguard reported that a vessel had gone ashore at Great Per- haver Beach. At 2.50 the life-boat C.D.E.C. put out in a calm sea, with a light southerly breeze blowing and fog. She found the fishing boat Ibis, of Mevagissey, with a crew of three. The life-boat stood by her until she re- floated on the rising tide, then escorted her to Mevagissey, and reached her own station again at 5.40.—Rewards, £6 13s..
