St. Ives, Cornwall.—At 3.15 on the morning of the 22nd of August, 1955, the coastguard rang up to say that the fishing boat Dido, of Portreath, which had put out from Portreath the even- ing before with a crew of three, had not returned and anxiety was felt for her safety. At 3.25 the life-boat Edgar, George, Orlando and Eva Child was launched. She made a search in a swell, with a light south-easterly breeze blowing and a flooding tide, but she found nothing. She then went to Portreath for further news. She arrived there at 7.15 and left again a little later. She found the Dido broken down five miles to the north- west of Portreath, rescued her crew and towed her to St. Ives, reaching her station again at 9.35.—Rewards to the crew, £16 5s.; rewards to the help- ers on shore, £14 2*..
