TOW FOR BOAT OUT ON FISHING TRIP Torbay, Devon. At 9.46 on the evening of the 22nd May, 1963, the Brixham coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a resident of Torquay had reported that two men were shouting and waving in a small motor boat between Thatcher Rock and Hope's Nose. At 10.5 the life-boat Princess Alexandra of Kent was launched in a light northnorth- westerly wind and a slight sea. It was an ebb tide. At 10.30 the life-boat found a 14-foot motor boat with two young men on board out for a fishing trip. The boat's engine had broken down. The life-boat took the motor boat in tow to Torquay harbour and, having seen the two youths safely ashore and their boat secured, returned to her station, where she arrived at 11.40..
