On the 15th May the motor yacht Morna, of Bangor, was dragging her anchor in Ballyholme Bay, and was in danger of being driven ashore. A strong northerly wind was blowing, with a heavy sea.

The coastguard reported the yacht's position, but as there was no one on board her, the life-boat was not immediately called out. At 6.15 P.M.

the owner asked the life-boat station for help and, as no other suitable boat was available, the motor life-boat Civil Service No. 5 put out at 6.45 P.M.

Efforts were made to tow the Morna, but the ropes broke and the yacht went ashore. The life-boat then returned to her station at 10.45 P.M. The owner expressed his thanks, paid all expenses and gave a donation to the Branch.— Property Salvage Case..
