Royal National Life Boat Institution Silver Life Saving Medal Padstowe Lifeboat 1872. A Victorian Silver example awarded to 'MR SAMUEL BATE VOTED 2ND MAY 1872 '. Accompanied by original case. Mr Samuel Bates served as Second Coxswain on the Padstowe Lifeboat. On April 2nd. 1872, there was a strong NNW gale and a tremendous sea breaking heavily along the whole of the north Cornish coast. The barque Viking, of Sunderland, with a cargo of coal from Cardiff for the Mediterranean, had been desperately trying to away from the land, but had lost the unequal struggle. She found herself embayed, utterly unable to round Trevose Head, and in a desperate attempt to save lives, if not the ship, her master headed her towards the sandy beach of Harlyn into which a fearful surf was driving. Even so, there was a slightly better chance of the ship staying intact there long enough to save the crew. The news reached the town and the lifeboat men hurried to the cove to put into practice the scheme they had often tried at quarterly exercises. They launched the boat and brought her back to Padstow. Meanwhile ten horses had been obtained and brought the carriage from its house in the town to the outer slip. The boat was drawn onto its carriage and the team started along the quay. With several local officials to keep the way clear they took the hill at a gallop, and when the tempo flagged many willing hands pushed and pulled wherever they could get a handhold. Once out of Padstow the pace quickened again and they were soon at Harlyn Bay, where the barge was now ashore but some distance off. Three men had taken the desperate step of trying to swim ashore and had been saved by brave spectators dashing into the surf. The sands were soft, the water shallow, and the gale right on shore, bringing in very heavy breakers. By superhuman efforts the boat was got afloat. She was filled by the first breaker, and as they strained at the oars against the sea and the gale their progress was so slow that there were many who thought they would be beaten back. But they slowly crept forward and reached the wreck at last. As she was lying bows-on there was virtually no shelter to be gained and the boat had to be kept under the bowsprit by means of a single line and constant use of the oars. Seas were constantly sweeping the length of the barque and over her foc'sle head into the lifeboat. The mate first came down the line with a bundle in his coat which proved to be the master's baby. The baby was snatched by the bowman and handed back in the boat, but the mate missed his hold and was swept away to drown. At the same moment the rope parted and a succession of seas sent the lifeboat back to the shore. The opportunity was taken to land the baby and again they battled their way back to the wreck. They then took off the master, his wife and boy, and three others. The cook refused the lifeboat, but lashed himself to a ladder and jumped overboard. He was washed ashore insensible but revived after artificial respiration.Two Silver Medals were awarded for this action.
