Yarmouth, Isle of Wight.—At 1.35 P.M. on the 10th August a telephone message was received from the Hon.

George Colville, deputy chairman of the committee of management, directing the life-boat to proceed at once to a position between Gurnard Ledge and Saltmead, where several dinghies, which were taking part in the Town Regatta at Cowes, had capsized. The weather was thick, with rain squalls, a rough sea and strong W.S.W. breeze.

At 1.49 P.M. the motor life-boat B.A.S.P. put out, and reached the position at 2.30 P.M. She saved four dinghies, Shearwater, Fillister, Departure and another, by towing three into harbour, and hauling the fourth onboard. Their crews had been rescued before the life-boat arrived.—Property Salvage Case..
