Carron II

Bembridge, Isle of Wight.—On the morning of the 4th July, the coastguard reported a yacht, six miles S.S.E. from Woody Point, dismasted, and making towards Culver. A moderate S.W.

gale was blowing, with a heavy sea. A little later the coastguard telephoned that the yacht was making signals of distress, and at. 9 A.M. the motor lifeboat Langham was launched. She came up with the yacht, the Carron II, of Gosport, with three people on board, off Bonchurch, and towed her into Gosport. She returned to her station at 2.45 P.M.—Rewards, £5 10s..
