Salcombe, Devon.—At 1.50 early on the morning of the 27th of October, 1956, the Hope Cove coastguard tele- phoned that the yacht Orenda, which was between one and two miles west of Prawle Point, had signalled that two men on board were suffering from exposure. At two o'clock the life-boat Samuel and Marie Parkhouse put out to bring the men ashore. There was a smooth sea and a light northerly breeze, and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat found the yacht, and at the request of her crew the life-boat towed her to Salcombe arriving at 4.40. The sick men were transferred to a waiting ambulance.—Rewards to the crew.

£10 10s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £1 4s..
