A Small Sailing Boat

At about 3 P.M. on the 29th April a small sailing boat capsized in a squally N.E. wind. News of the accident was telephoned to the life*boat station and the permanent second coxswain of the motor life-boat, accom- panied by another man, immediately put out in the life-boat's motor tender William Myatt.
