St. Mary's, Scilly Isles. At 9.55 on the evening of the 27th of September, 1958, the coxswain told the honorary secretary he had received a message thatthe fishing boat Pamela of Grimsby had left Tresco at 7.30 for St. Martin's but had not arrived. At 10.12 the life- boat Guy and Clare Hunter was launched in a very rough sea. There was a south-westerly gale with heavy rain squalls, and the tide was ebbing. The coxswain had to take the life-boat over the shallow flats between Tresco and St. Martin's and found the Pamela at moorings in Tean Sound. As the sea was too rough for the fishing boat's owner to land on the nearby beach, the life-boat took him and a punt, by which he had been trying to land, to a more sheltered landing on St. Martin's and then returned to her station, arriv- ing at 12.12 early on the 28th of Septem- ber. The life-boat was rehoused later that day. Rewards to the crew, £8 15s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £3 8s..
