Cnosa

Penlee, Cornwall.—At 2.30 on the afternoon of the 29th of July, 1957, a message was received that there was an injured man on board the Liberian tanker Cnosa about twenty miles south-east of Bishop's Rock Lighthouse. At three o'clock the life- boat W. & S. was launched in a calm sea. She made first for Newlyn to take a doctor and an ambulance man on board and came up with the Cnosa twelve miles south-south-west of Pen- zance. The injured man was trans- ferred to the life-boat, which arrived back at her station at seven, o'clock.

The owners made a donation to the Institution's funds.—Rewards to the crew, £9 16.; rewards to the helpers on shore £5 8s..
