St. Mary's, Scilly Islands.—At 8.15 on the evening of the 23rd of March, 1955, a man reported that a small vessel had entered Porthcressa Bay, apparently on her way to St. Mary's for shelter.

He later said the vessel had anchored about seven hundred yards on the landward side of Peninnis lighthouse.

As she was in a dangerous position, the life-boat Cunard was launched at 8.45 in a heavy swell, with a freshening south-westerly wind, an ebbing tide and heavy rain. There had been a gale warning. The life-boat found the fishing boat Reine de la Mer, of Douarnenez, France, with a crew ofsixteen. She towed her to harbour, reaching her station again at ten o'clock.—Rewards, £9 2s..
