Falmouth, Cornwall. — About six o'clock on the evening of the 25th of August, 1957, the St. Anthony coast- guard reported that a small boat appeared to be in difficulty off St.

Mawes harbour. The life-boat Crawford and Constance Conybeare put out at 6.30 in a rough sea. There was a moderate north-westerly gale and a flooding tide. When the life-boat arrived at the position she found that the boat had been driven ashore in a damaged condition and the crew were safe.

A racing dinghy was then seen to capsize, but a shore boat managed to tow her ashore. Shortly after- wards the life-boat received a message by radio-telephone indicating a third casualty. A yacht was said to be in difficulties at St. Just. The life-boat made for the position but found that the boat was no longer in trouble.

The life-boat arrived back at her station at 8.15.—Rewards to the crew, £9 16s.; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3..
