OCTOBER 6TH. - TORBAY, DEVON. At 9.41 in the morning the Brixham coastguard telephoned that a motor trawler was flying distress signals two miles north-north-east of Berry Head. A light north-westerly breeze was blowing, with a smooth sea. The motor life-boat George Shee was launched at ten o’clock and found the local motor trawler Prevalent with her engine broken down. She had a crew of five. The life-boat towed her to Brixham and reached her station again at 10.55. - Rewards, £6 13s..
