Dagmar, of Middlesborough

Early on the morning of the 17th June, signals of distress were observed from the yacht Dagmar, of Middlesborough, lying in the Roads off Redcar, in which she had taken refuge the previous evening. It was blowing fresh from the north, and there was a strong sea running at the time. The Crossley life-boat was at once launched, and took off the crew of 2 men, and brought them safely ashore. The yacht fortunately held by her anchor, and was afterwards saved.
