Chantecler

Lytham-St. Annes, Lancashire.—Early in the afternoon of the 16th March the auxiliary yacht Chantecler, of Lytham, broke away from her moorings. A strong east breeze was blowing, with amoderate sea. As no one was on board the yacht, the motor life-boat J.H.W. was launched at 2.45 P.M. to secure her. She found that she had grounded about two and a half miles west of the pier, and returned to her station at 4.30 P.M. to wait until flood tide. At 11.30 P.M. she put out again, towed the yacht back, and returned to her station at 2 A.M. on the 17th:— Property Salvage Case..
