St. Ives, Cornwall. At 8.50 on the evening of the 25th May, 1961, the coastguard informed the coxswain that the fishing boat White Heather was aground three hundred yards south of St. Ives pier and that her crew of four were trying to refloat her. At 9.20, when the life-boat Edgar, George, Orlando and Eva Child was launched, there was a light north-north-easterly wind with a moderate sea. It was one hour and a half after low water. The life-boat found that the White Heather had fouled her propeller on her anchor cable: She pulled her clear, towed her to St. Ives and arrived back at her station at 12.45 early the next morning..
