Little Mariner

Weymouth, Dorset.—On the afternoon of the 29th May the coastguard telephoned that a yacht off Chesil Beach, about fourteen miles by sea from Weymouth, was flying distress signals. A freshening W.S.W. breeze was blowing, with a choppy sea. The reserve motor life-boat The Brothers, on temporary duty at Weymouth, was launched at 4.57 P.M. and found on the .beach, broadside to the sea. Her crewof two had got ashore. At the request of the master the life-boat got a line to the yacht, towed her clear, and took her to Weymouth. She returned to her station at 10.30 P.M.—Property Salvage Case..
