Mogridge 1935' and supporting photographs and newspaper cuttings. William Mogridge was appointed Coxswain of the Torbay Life Boat in October 1932. On the evening of 30th December 1935, he took the Torbay lifeboat George Shee on a three hour journey through stormy seas to rescue the one remaining crew member on the French trawler, Satanicle, sinking 15 miles off Start Point. It took a further five hours to return through the heavy seas to Brixham. The second award of the Silver Life Boat Medal for Gallantry , resulted from an incident on 16th December during which seven lives were saved from the Truro schooner 'Henrietta', which had been driven onto a reef in a gale. A tug and a trawler were standing by, but could do nothing to help. The captain of the schooner feared that no boat could get near, but Coxswain Mogridge took his lifeboat right alongside and in three minutes, had rescued all seven men..
