Padstow, Cornwall. At 12.8 p.m. on 26th February, 1966, the Trevose Head coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the Belgian trawler Combesco of Ostend was in a dangerous position under Skepper Point. The Land's End Radio had tried to contact her and the coastguard had fired maroons to warn her of the danger. There was a gale force south westerly wind and the sea was rough. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat Joseph Hiram Chadwick went to the position given at 1.36 and escorted the trawler to a safe anchorage. The life-boat returned to her moorings at 2.40 p.m..
