A Yacht

Fleetwood, Lancashire.—At midday on the 14th August the keeper at Wyre Light reported that a yacht was ashore in a dangerous position on the east side of the Wyre Channel, opposite the lighthouse. A fresh, and fastincreasing, N.W. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat Frederick H. Pilley was launched at 12.50 P.M., and soon found the yacht, which had four men and four womenon board. The life-boat towed her off the bank, took her into harbour, and returned to her station at 1.45 P.M.—Rewards, £5 Is..
