At 7.43 p.m. on 26th July, 1967, information was received that the motor yacht Philante, some five miles off St.

Anthony lighthouse, was taking water in her engine room. The life-boat Crawford and Constance Conybeare slipped her moorings at 8.5. The tide was flooding.

The life-boat came up with the yacht off St. Anthony Head. The situation on board the Philante was now under control and after escorting her to St. Mawes the life-boat returned to her station, arriving at 8.40..
