Sus

.— During a whole S.E. gale with a heavy sea on 22nd November the yacht Sus, of Cowes, with three men on board, got into distress about eight miles W.S.W. of Rame Head. Her signals were seen by found that she had badly damaged her bows. Her crew fixed a tarpaulin over them, but were in fear that she might founder, and the Life-boat stood by her until she reached Yarmouth. Mean- while, three other drifters had got the Oakford in tow and brought her safely in. It was 1.30 P.M. when the Life-boat reached Gorleston again, having then been out in bad weather for twelve hours.—Rewards, £42 5s..
