Torbay, South Devon.—About 10.15 on the morning of the llth of August, 1956, the honorary secretary and the motor mechanic were keeping yachts in the harbour under observation as the weather had deteriorated. One yacht, Boy Jack, seemed to be in difficulties. The life-boat George Shee put out at 10.40. The sea was rough, there was a fresii north-westerly gale, and the tide was flooding. The life- boat reached the yacht, which was rolling and pitching severely, and managed to take off two adults and two small children. She arrived back at her station at one o'clock.—Re- wards to the crew, £8 8,?.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 4s..
