St. Ives, Cornwall.—At 5.25 on the morning of the 18th of June, 1955, the coastguard rang up to say that the yacht Molin, anchored in St. Ives Bay, was making distress signals. At 5.50 the life-boat Edgar, George, Orlando and Eva Child was launched.

The sea was slight, there was a light east-south-east breeze, and the tide was ebbing. A fishing boat also put out, took off the Molin's crew of two and returned to St. Ives, followed by the life-boat. The owner of the yacht then asked if the life-boat would tow in his yacht. The life-boat put to sea again and towed the Molin to St.

Ives, arriving at 7.45.—Rewards to the crew, £6; rewards to the helpers on shore, £10 3s..
