At about 9.15 A.M.

on 3rd April the Coxswain saw a vessel flying signals to the N.N.E. of the Tongue Light Vessel. A light S.S.W. wind was blowing and the sea was smooth, but as it was thought that help was needed the Motor Life-boat Lord Southborough (Civil Service No. 1) was launched. She found the yacht Isabel, of Dublin, bound from Lowestoft to Plymouth with a crew of six on board, disabled by a damaged rudder and engine trouble.

She stood by until a tug came up and took the yacht in tow, and then returned to her Station, arriving at 1.25 P.M.— Rewards, £5 19s..
