Fowey, Cornwall.—At 11.20 on the morning of the 21st of August, 1955, the Polruan coastguard rang up to say that a sailing dinghy had capsized three-quarters of a mile south-west of Blackbottle. At 11.35 the life-boat Deneys Reitz put out. The sea was calm, there was a moderate east-south- east breeze, and the tide was half ebb.

The life-boat found the local sailing dinghy Shellduck, which had a crew of four. Another sailing dinghy had gone to their help and rescued two of the crew. The life-boat then rescued the others and towed the Shellduck to Fowey, arriving at 12.10. The club to which the dinghy belonged made a donation to the funds of the Institu- tion.—Rewards to the crew, £7; other reward, 2s. &d..
