The life- boat IF. and S. was launched thirty minutes later in a moderate sea. There was a moderate southerly breeze and the tide was ebbing. The life-boat found the dinghy empty, and after taking it on board returned to Newlyn.

arriving there at 11.45. Because of the heavy swell the life-boat was not rehoused until two days later.— Rewards to the crew, £10 5*.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £8 9*. 6rf..
