Salcombe, Devon. At 11.50 on the morning of the 2nd of September, 1958, the coastguard at Bolt Head informed the honorary secretary that a sailing boat had capsized half a mile south- west of Steeple Cove look-out hut and that two people were clinging to her.

The life-boat Samuel and Marie Park- house put out immediately in a moderate sea, with a gentle east-south-easterly wind blowing and an ebb tide. She found five people in the water, rescued them and landed them at Salcombe at 1.30. Rewards to the crew, £8 ; re- wards to helpers on shore, £1 4s..
