Aldeburgh, Suffolk.—At 4 P.M. on the 10th August the coastguard reported a small yacht at anchor about a mile to the south of the station. As the wind was rising, a close watch was kept.

Later another yacht was reported at anchor off East Lane. By 7.30 P.M. a moderate S.S.W. gale was blowing, with a rough sea and rain, and the moto.

life-boat Abdy Beauclerk was launched.

She found the first yacht to be the Jackdaw, of Wallasea Bay, with a crew of three aboard, bound from Southwold to Walton. She had been dragging her anchor and her crew had decided to leave. The life-boat took them off and shortly afterwards she sank. The lifeboat went on to the second yacht off East Lane. She was the Chanticleer, of London, with a crew of five on board, and bound from Lowestoft to Gravesend. At the request of the owner the life-boat took her in tow to Harwich, which was reached just before midnight. The life-boat returned to her station next morning. A donation of £20 was received by the Institution from the owner of the Chanticleer.—Rewards, £34 8s..
