Aldeburgh, Suffolk.—On the morning of the 22nd June the coxswain saw a yacht, about three and a half miles south of Aldeburgh, hoist a distress signal. A moderate west gale was blowing, and the sea was rough. As the motor life-boat was undergoing overhaul, the No. 2 pulling and sailing life-boat James Leath was launched, at 11.58 A.M. She found that the yacht was the Albion, of Burnham-on-Crouch, in difficulties owing to stress of weather.

The life-boat drew alongside and the yacht's crew of three jumped aboard her and asked to be landed. This was done, and then the life-boat returned to the yacht. As there was not sufficient water to get into Southwold harbour, some life-boatmen were put on board the yacht and both vessels made for Lowestoft, which was reached at 5.15 P.M. The life-boat returned to her station at 9.30 A.M. next day.— Property Salvage Case..
