On the 30th June information was received that a yacht appeared to be ashore near the Cork Sand. She was kept under observation by the coastguard, and it was decided to send the motor life-boat E.M.E.D. to her. She left at 7.25 P.M., and when she was still about one and a half miles away from the yacht, which was the auxiliary Patron- ita, she saw her swing round and refloat. She went on and escorted the yacht to the entrance of Harwich harbour. The people on board thanked the coxswain for coming out to them, and also sent a donation to the Institu- tion.—Rewards, £14 5s..
