Portrush, Co. Antrim. — On the morning of the 1st September the auxiliary ketch-rigged yacht Thelma II, of Beaumaris, carrying a crew of three, left Portrush for Liverpool under sail.

Her engine was out of action. A very light southerly breeze was blowing, and on rounding Ramore Head the yacht was unable to maintain steerage way, and was carried by the tide on to Carr Rock, about 400 yards N.N.E. of the Head. News was received from the coastguard, and the motor life-boat T.B.B.H. was launched at 10 A.M. In the meantime three fishermen in a rowing boat had seen the yacht. They left their fishing and stood by until the arrival of the life-boat. Finding that the yacht had gone ashore on an ebb tide, and that it was not possible to get her off at once, the life-boat returned to her station, after arranging with the yacht's owner to come to his help at half-flood. She put out again at 4 P.M. and this time succeeded ingetting the yacht off. She towed her back to harbour, and returned to her station at 5.30 P.M.—Life-boat—• Property Salvage Case; Rewards to small boat, £1 2s. 6d..
