On the 19th July the motor yacht Ena, of Greenock, bound from Douglas to Greenock with eight persons on board, was in difficulty owing to trouble with her engine, two and a half miles W.S.W.

of Portpatrick. A strong S.W. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea, and it was raining heavily. The coastguard telephoned to the life-boat station and the motor life-boat J. and W. was launched at 7.30 P.M. The coxswain put a life-boatman on board the yacht, and the life-boat towed her into harbour. The life-boat returned to her station at 8.45 P.M.—Rewards, £8 17s. 6d..
