St. Ives, Cornwall. At 10.30 on the morning of the 18th of November, 1958, the coastguard told the coxswain that a motor launch was sinking to the east of St. Ives Bay. Five minutes later the life-boat Edgar, George, Orlando and Eva Child was launched in a heavy ground swell with a moderate easterly wind blowing and poor visibility. It was high water. The life-boat found the motor launch Shaiba full of water and with her engines broken down. She had a crew of four. The life-boat towed her to St. Ives, arriving at two o'clock to find the fire brigade waiting to pump the water out. Property salvage case..
