December. Between the 6th and the 7th, the Torbay lifeboat was out on four occasions,
She was out for two hours on the 5th, rescuing the crew of a fishing boat, and again for two hours on the 6th, She was called out for the third time just before two in the morning of the 7th, and stood by a steamer until she was able to get into Torbay.
She did not return
until 10.30 in the morning, and half an hour later was launched again in response to a wireless call from un unnamed ship nearly forty miles away,
She had to fight her way in the teath of a whole gale, and then she searched for four hours, but could find nothing except a few fishing planks. It was nearly 7 p.m. when she began her journey home, and did not reach her station until 4 a.m. the next day. Her crew had then been on service, exposed to the full fury of the gale, for 26 hours, with only half an hour's interval
ashore, during which they had been able to get dry clothes, and a little
warm food.
Besides the vellum awarded to the coxawain, a letter of apprecia tion has been sent to the motor mechanic.
