Fowey, Cornwall. —At 2.3 early on the morning of the 12th of August. 1954, the Polruan coastguard reported that a vessel was sounding blasts on a fog- horn near Gwineas Rock about one mile west of Mevagissey. At 2.31 the life-boat C.D.E.C. put out. The sea was calm, there was a light southerly breeze and fog, and it was two hours before high water. The life-boat made a search, but it was then learnt that a faulty motor car horn soundingcontinually had given rise to the report. The life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 6.40.—Rewards, £9 9s..
