At 10.18 A.M. on the.29th, July a message was received from the Coastguard that a small yacht had been dismasted near Orfordness, and wanted help. A strong S.W. breeze was blowing, with a moderate sea and rain squalls. The Motor Life-boat A bdy Beauclerk was launched, and found that the yacht was the Jo, of Aldeburgh, with two men on board. They were taken into the Life-boat, and after two Life-boatmen had been put on the yacht she was towed to Slaughden Quay. The Life-boat arrived back at her Station at 5.30 P.M., having been out for seven hours.—Property Salvage Case..
