The third call came about 7 A.M., when it was reported that a yacht had been seen drifting up the Solent.

The wind was still blowing a strong gale, at this time from the W.S.W., and the sea was rough. The motor life-boat put out and picked up the yacht about a mile north of Yarmouth harbour. There was no one on board.

She towed her into harbour, and re- turned to her station at 8.30 A.M.

Rewards for the first launch, in the boarding boat, £6 11s.

For the second launch, to the two yachts, additional rewards were made to the men who manned the boarding boat.—Rewards, £13 165.

Rewards for the third launch, £6 5s.

Donations were received from the owners of the yachts Violet and Grey Gull..
