Coverack, Cornwall. At 3.20 on the afternoon of the 25th of April, 1960, the motor fishing vessel Jennie left Coverack for Falmouth to have her engine over- hauled. There was a gentle north- westerly wind and a smooth sea. Later she was seen a mile and a half south- east of the Manacles with her engine broken down, and the life-boat William Taylor of Oldham was launched at 5.15.

It was nearly high water. The life- boat found the fishing vessel with herowner on board and took her in tow to Helford river, where she was beached.

The life-boat reached her station at 7.40. Rewards to the crew. £8 8s. ; rewards to the helpers on shore, £4 16s.
