— At mid- night on the 21st September a tele- phone message was received that a vessel appeared to be trying to attract attention by means of a flare. A strong E.S.E. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea and rain showers. It was first tried, but unsuccessfully, to communicate with the vessel by means of a flash lamp ; and then it was decided to launch the Motor Life-boat Queen Victoria. She left at 1.35 A.M. on the 22nd, arid found that the vessel was the auxiliary yacht Capri, of Fleetwood, with seven persons aboard. She had stranded on Round Rock, near Hanois, while on a pleasure cruise from Poole to Cornwall, and was in imminent danger of being dashed to pieces, as the wind was freshening and the tide falling, and she was lying to windward of the rocks. The Life-boat managed to get a rope aboard her and then began to tow her to safety, but had only gone a few yards when the yacht struck a submerged rock and began to fill. The tow-rope was cut and the crew quickly taken on board the Life-boat, which then returned to her Station, arriving back at 6 A.M.—Rewards, £9 Is..
