Padstow, Cornwall - At 5.51 p.m. on 22nd July, 1967, a small yacht was reported in difficulties on the north side of Harlyn bay. The life-boat Joseph Hiram Chadwick slipped her moorings at 6.14 in a moderate north easterly breeze and a choppy sea. The tide was flooding. When the life-boat arrived at the position given she found the yacht Santos and escorted her to Padstow harbour. The life-boat then went to search for a missing sailing dinghy, but was recalled when the dinghy was reported to be safe. The life-boat returned to her moorings at 8 o'clock..
