Aldeburgh, Suffolk.—On the afternoon of the 29th July the Sizewell coastguard reported that a cabincruiser, which was being towed by a yawl, had broken adrift half a mile N.E. of the coastguard station, and that it was not certain if anyone was on board. A fresh, squally N.E. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea and rain.

The motor life-boat Abdy Beauclerk was launched at 5.50 P.M., and one mile S.W. of Sizewell Bank buoy picked up a dinghy and the motor launch Stella, both empty. They had parted from a yacht which had been towing them to Wood bridge. The life-boat took them to Slaughden Quay, arriving at 10.45 P.M. The life-boat was left there overnight and was taken back to her station next morning. The owner of the dinghy made a donation to theInstitution and promised to become an annual subscriber.—Rewards, £35 12s..
