Falmouth, Cornwall.—At 7.20 on the morning of the 29th of July, 1956, the St. Anthony coastguard rang up to say that a woman had reported that a black-painted yacht was dragging her anchor off Helford River. The life- boat Crawford and Constance Conybeare put out at 7.45. The sea was very rough, there was a fresh westerly gale, and it was raining. The life-boat searched for the boat without success, but found a cream-coloured yacht Crean in difficulties. She took off her crew of six, including some children, and landed them at Helford. Search was continued for the black-painted yacht until information was received that she had been blown into St.

Mawes. The life-boat returned to her station, arriving at eleven o'clock.— Rewards, £9 16s..
