gale the Coxswain of the Life-boat May- hew Medwin observed a vessel in distress in Peel Bay. The crew of the Life-boat were assembled very smartly and the boat launched. They found the yacht Gala, of Bangor, which was running for shelter to Peel Harbour, in imminent risk of stranding on a lee shore. There were eight persons on board, and the owner requested the Coxswain to try and save the vessel as well as her occu- pants. The Life-boat returned to the breakwater, obtained two hawsers, and making one fast to a bollard returned to the vessel. Having secured everything on board, part of the Life-boat's crew boarded the yacht, weighed her anchor and hauled her off the lee shore. A large number of persons on the breakwater then manned the hawser and the vessel was hauled into safety at the inner end of the breakwater and at high water was moored in the Harbour..
