AUGUST 13TH. - PLYMOUTH, DEVON.

At 12.5 in the morning the King’s harbour master reported that men and a boat were marooned on the Rennie Rocks between the breakwater and the Mew Stone. They had been trying to salve a small motor boat which had gone ashore. A S.W. wind was blowing, with a heavy swell. At 12.20 A.M. the motor life-boat Ministre Anseele, a Belgian lifeboat in the Institution’s reserve fleet, on temporary duty, was launched, taking with her a boarding boat. She found three men from War Department vessels Brigadier and Grey Lady, rescued them, and put them aboard their vessels at Barbican. She returned to her station at 3 A.M. A letter of thanks was received from the Commanderin- chief at Devonport. - Rewards, £8 15s..
