Plymouth, Devon.—At 12.44 early on the morning of the 21st of June, 1955, the Rame Head coastguard telephoned to say the police had reported that a motor boat, in which two youths had put out on a fishing trip from Torpoint, was missing. At 1.14 the life-boat Thomas Forehead and Mary Rowse put out, with the honorary secretary, Mr.

A. S. Hicks, on board. The sea was calm, there was a light north-westerly breeze, and it was low water. The life-boat made a search, using her searchlight, but the youths, after their engine had broken down, reached Cremyll under oars. They told the police there that they would row back to Torpoint, and the coastguard wire- lessed this news to the life-boat. The life-boat came up with the motor boat about half a mile off Cremyll, towed her to Torpoint, and reached her station again at 2.40. The youths expressed their thanks.—Rewards to the crew, £5 5s..
