Mr. T. G. Hancock presided at the weekly concert of the John Cory Sailors' Rest and during an interval in the proceedings said he had a pleasing duty to perform in the presentation to Mr. J. Horst, Mr. F. Reynolds and Mr. W. Cook, three members of the crew of the steam liner Chanticleer, who in November last volunteered to make up a life-boat crew that went to the rescue of a fisherman who was on the wreck of the "Angele", of Brest, on the Doom Bar, Padstow, and with great difficulty and danger saved the man's life. The act was all the more meritorious because the regular crew of the Padstow Lifeboat who had only just before been out to another wreck refused to make the second journey. The bravery of these three men had been recognised by the National Lifeboat Institution who at a meeting of the Committee of Management held in London in December adopted the following resolution:-
"That the best thanks of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution be presented to Mr. J. Horst, Mr. F. Reynolds and Mr. W. Cook, for gallantly coming forward as volunteers in the Padstow No. 1 Lifeboat, and assisting to save the master of the brigantine "Angele", of Brest, which was wrecked on the Doom Bar, Padstow, in a strong W.N.W. gale and very heavy sea on the 12th November 1912."
The Chairman asked the men mentioned to come forward to the platform, and Messrs Horst and Reynolds came to the front amidst loud cheers. Mr Cook, the Chairman said, was at sea, and he would have the pleasure of handing him his certificate again.
Although it's only a secondary name here, perhaps it would be worth adding an other uses link here to Dunbar (disambiguation) or a link somewhere in the article to Dunbar. Incidentally, that name almost certainly has no connection with sandbars as it's in an area of rocky cliffs: see the suggested Brythonic source which looks likely. . . dave souza, talk 19:43, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
Surely the feature was called the Dun Bar because that describes very well what it is - a Dun (greyish-brown) Bar (bank of sand, silt. etc., across the mouth of a river or harbour, obstructing navigation). I've lifted the definitions from the SOED. Mahonj ( talk) 07:40, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
