Fowey, Cornwall. On the llth July, 1961, the life-boat Deneys Reitz had returned after escorting the dinghies Shellduck and Lapwing to safety when it was learnt that the two dinghies were now making for a dismasted dinghy on the rocks near Coombe Hawne. There was a light southerly breeze and the sea was choppy. The tide was flooding.

The life-boat Deneys Reitz therefore put to sea again at 1.40 in the after- noon. She found the sailing dinghy Babioli with a broken mast on the rocks.

There was no sign of any of her crew, and the life-boat towed the Babioli to Fowey. It was then learnt that this was the dinghy which had been lost near Fowey by the motor yacht Zedora. The life-boat finally reached her station at 2.36..
