On the 15th August three young men from a camp went out sailing in the boat Kenya, of Colwell Bay. A strong south- west wind was blowing, with a rough sea, and the boat was capsized. This information was sent by telephone from Cliff End Signal Station, and the motor life-boat Hearts of Oak was launched at 3.42 P.M. On reaching the position given, five miles west of the Needles, the life-boat found that the pilot cutter had picked up one man. Stimulants were given him and he was put on board the life-boat. Meanwhile a pass- ing yacht hailed her and said that she had picked up another man and would land him at Poole. On her way back the life-boat, as she passed the Needles, signalled for a doctor and an ambulance, and they were ready to look after the man when the life-boat reached Yar- mouth. The third man was drowned.
