EXHAUSTED HOLIDAY-MAKERS FOUND IN BOAT Falmouth, Cornwall. At 7.14 on the evening of the 23rd May, 1963, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that a small boat had fired a red flare a mile and a half off Portscatho.

There was a light northerly breeze with a smooth sea. The life-boat Crawford and Constance Conybeare was launched at 7.23 on an ebbing tide. She came up with the small motor boat Sung low at 8.12. The Sunglow had broken down some four hours earlier, and the two occupants, who were on holiday, had tried to row ashore but had become exhausted. They were taken on board the life-boat, which towed the Sunglow into Falmouth. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 8.58..
