Torbay, Devon.—On the evening of the 12th July the Berry Head coastguard reported that a yacht appeared to be in difficulties between Berry Head and the Orestone. A strong, squally S.S.W. breeze was blowing, with heavy rain. The motor life-boat George Shee was launched at 7.50 P.M., and found the yacht Mayfly, of Poole, two miles north of Berry Head, unable to make headway during the squalls.

The life-boat escorted her into Brixham harbour, and returned to her station at 9 P.M.—Rewards, £9 13s..
