Fowey, Cornwall.—At 9.25 on the evening of the 17th of August, 1956, the Polruan coastguard reported white flares two to three miles south-west- by-west of the coastguard station.

At 9.40 the life-boat Deneys Reitz put out. There was a moderate sea anda strong south-westerly breeze. It was low water. The life-boat found the Norwegian motor vessel Frode trying to attract the attention of the pilot in Par Bay. The coxswain advised the skipper to make for Fowey for the night owing to the bad weather, and the life-boat escorted the Frode to Fowey, arriving back at her station at 11.42.—Rewards to the crew, etc., £8 10s.
