Salcombe, Devon.—At 1.15 on the afternoon of the 12th of September, 1954, a man swimming off Gara Rocks wasreported to be in danger. At 1.30 the life-boat Samuel and Marie Parkhouse was launched. The sea was choppy and a moderate westerly breeze was blow- ing. The life-boat searched in a flood tide and found the man's body between Rickham Sands and Moor Sands.

Using a dinghy, two life-boatmen recovered it and transferred it to the life-boat, which then returned to her station, arriving at four o'clock.— Rewards, £7 10*..
