The Coastguard telephoned at about 7 A.M. on 28th March that a yacht was ashore on the Hook Sands. The Poole and Bourne- mouth Life-boat Harmar was promptly launched and found the yacht Capri ashore, with a party of six on board.

The sea was moderate, but the weather was squally with a strong wind blowing from the S.W. Help was accepted from the Life-boat, which ran away an anchor, and by this means the yacht was re- floated. Eventually the Capri was taken by the Life-boat Crew into Brownsea Roads.—Rewards, £1418s. Qd..
