A small yacht was observed on the West Hoyle Bank soon after midday on the 4th August with a signal flying denoting that they required assistance. The crew were assembled and the Life-boat H. G. Powell launched. There was a moderate W.N.W. breeze with a moderate sea, and when nearing the yacht the Life-boat grounded on the bank. The Life-boatmen succeeded however in floating her and getting a line to the yacht. They found that she was completely at the mercy of the wind and sea, as the occupants, three in number, had lost the boat's anchor and the steering gear had broken. She proved to be the yacht Pern belonging ; to the Tranmeve Sailing CUib, and the Life-boat having taken her in tow con- veyed her and the crew into safety at Mostyn..
