JUNE 25TH. - TORBAY, DEVON. At 7.13 P.M. a message was received from the Berry Head coastguard that a small boat, with two people on board, appeared to be in distress 2 miles S.W. by S. of the Torquay coastguard look-out hut. A W.N.W. breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea. At 7.30 P.M. the motor life-boat George Shee was launched. She found the boat, which was the yacht Elsie, of Torquay, but with great difficulty, as it had capsized and was floating with its keel level with the water, and rescued a woman who was only half conscious. Later it was learned that the other occupant of the boat, a man, had attempted to swim ashore to get help, but had been drowned. The lifeboat returned to her station at 9.59 P.M.- Rewards, £4 19s..
