Penlee, Cornwall. At 12.48 on the afternoon of the 18th of February, 1960, the motor mechanic told the honorary secretary that a fishing boat had broken down close to the rocks at Tol-Pedn. At one o'clock the life-boat W. and S. was launched in a moderate to fresh south-south-westerly wind with a rough sea. It was an hour and a half before low water. The life-boat found the fishing boat May of St. Ives, with one man aboard, anchored ten yards from the cliff face. She took her in tow, but the rope parted several times before the fishing boat was brought into Newlyn. The life-boat reached her station at 2.15. Property salvage case..
