MAN TAKEN OFF NORWEGIAN FREIGHTER Salcombe, Devon. At 6.40 on the evening of the 6th August 1962, the honorary secretary received a message from the Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth, that a man and his boat had been picked up by the Norwegian freighter Faro. The Faro was bound for Montreal, and the life-boat was asked to take the man off. The honorary secretary agreed, and a rendezvous was arranged off Start Point at 10.15. The life-boat Samuel and Marie Parkhouse left her moorings at nine o'clock in a moderate north-north-westerly wind and a rough sea. It was an hour and a half before high water. The life-boat met the Faro and the man was transferred, but because of the rough seas it was not possible to take his boat on board. The life-boat left the Faro at 12.10 and reached her moorings at 1.45..
