At 11.53 in the morning a message was received from the resident naval officer at Brixham, through the coastguard, asking for the life-boat crew to assemble. A strong north-west wind was blowing, but the sea was slight. On receipt of a further message from the resident naval officer the motor lifeboat George Shee was launched at 12.5. In Brixham outer harbour she found H.M.

This the life-boat did, and arrived back at her station at one o’clock. The resident naval officer complimented her crew on their services.- Rewards, £4 8s. 6d..
