Plymouth, Devon. At 12.10 on the afternoon of the 21st of April, 1960, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the police had asked if the life-boat could take off a family of five who were stranded on Renney rocks off Heybrook bay. The life-boat Thomas Forehead and Mary Rowse left her moorings at 12.23 with the boarding boat in tow. The tide was half flood, there was a light southerly breeze, and the sea was smooth. The life-boat stood off the rocks, and the boarding boat manned by the motor mechanic and the second coxswain went in and took off a man and his wife and their three children. They were transferred to the life-boat, which reached her station at two o'clock. Rewards to the crew, £5..
