SEPTEMBER 21ST. APPLEDORE, DEVON. An aeroplane was reported to have crashed eight miles north of Hartland Point, and at four in the afternoon the motor life-boat Violet Armstrong was launched. A squally N.W. by W. wind was blowing, with a rough sea, and visibility was poor. The life-boat searched, but found nothing, and at 5.25 she was recalled by wireless by the naval officer in charge. As darkness would soon come, and the weather was bad, the coxswain decided to shelter in Lundy Roads for the night. It was not possible for the crew to land, and they remained on board the lifeboat, without food. The life-boat did not get back to her station until four in the afternoon of the following day, 24 hours after setting out. An increase in the usual money reward on the standard scale was made toeach member of the crew. - Standard rewards to crew and helpers, £17 4s. ; additional rewards to crew, £7 ; total rewards, £24 4s.
