At 2.30 P.M. on the 30th August the coxswain saw a dinghy, which was racing, capsize.

She was helped by an attendant launch.

A few minutes later another dinghy filled, and the life-boat Agnes Cross was launched at 2.40 P.M. The sea was heavy, with a moderate gale from the S.E., and several dinghies were now in difficulties. The Whimbrel had a broken mast and was full of water, so her crew of two were taken aboard the life-boat. The Snipe had got into broken water, so her crew of two ladies were also taken aboard. Both boats were then towed to harbour. The life-boat then put out again, and finding that all the small racing craft had got back safely, she returned to her moor- ings at 4 P.M.—Rewards, £15 2s. 6d..
