NOVEMBER 2ND. - TORBAY, DEVON.

The officer of H.M. Customs at Brixham received a radio signal from the S.S. Belgique, of Antwerp, bound for Rio de Janeiro, that she had set her course to Torbay to land her second engineer who had been badly burned when a steam pipe burst. The Torbay and Brixham coaling depot asked for the use of the life-boat as no other suitable boat was available, and it was arranged that the motor life-boat George Shee should go out. She left at seven in the evening. A south-west wind was blowing, with a moderate sea. The lifeboat landed the man at Brixham, and arrived bark at her station at 9.15. - No expense to the Institution..
