St. Ives, Cornwall - At 9.12 p.m. on 22nd July, 1967, it was learnt that the Newquay fishing vessel Talisman was without fuel one mile off St. Agnes Head.

The life-boat Edgar, George Orlando and Eva Child was launched in a fresh north easterly breeze and a choppy sea. The tide was ebbing. The life-boat came up with the Talisman half a mile north east of St.

Agnes Head. The life-boat took her in tow and proceeded to St. Ives Bay where she had to wait for the tide before entering the harbour. The fishing vessel was refuelled and she proceeded back to Newquay. The life-boat returned to her station at 4.10 a.m. on 23rd July..
