Fleetwood, Lancashire.—On the 15th September a party of three men and two women left Fleetwood in the motor yacht Moonbeam, of Fleetwood. Engine trouble developed, and the Moonbeam ran ashore on the North Lighthouse bank at the entrance to Wyre Channel.

She was carrying no sails or oars, and as a heavy storm broke, with thunder and lightning, and threatened to swamp her, distress signals were made. Wyre lighthouse warned the life-boat station, and the motor life-boat Sir FitzRoy Clayton was launched at 8.40 P.M. The two women were taken into the lifeboat, which then towed the Moonbeam back to safety. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 9.40 P.M. A letter of thanks and a donation were received from the owner of the yacht.
