Falmouth, Cornwall.—At ten o'clock on the night of the 3rd of June, 1956the Polruan coastguard reported that a sailing boat moored off Portscatho seemed to be dragging her anchor. As the weather conditions were bad the life-boat Cunard, on temporary duty at the station, put out at high water at 10.25. The sea was rough, and there was a strong south-westerly breeze. The life-boat came up with the sailing boat Ranwara, of London, but her crew did not want any help.

The life-boat, however, stood by the yacht until the weather improved and then returned to her station, arriving at 1.45 early on the 4th of June.— Rewards to the crew, £9 16s.; reward to the helper on shore, 12,?..
