SEPTEMBER 23RD. - SALCOMBE, DEVON.

A woman and a boy were out in a motor boat when the engine failed and the boat went ashore off Moor Sands. The woman climbed up the cliffs and summoned help. The lifeboat went out, but the boy refused to be hauled through the surf to her. She then signalled to the coastguard to rescue him with a cliff ladder. The mother of the boy made a donation in gratitude to the life-boat.- Rewards, £6 14s..
