Portrush, Co. Antrim.—During the afternoon of the 8th August, the sailing yacht Escape, of Belfast, with two men on board, left Portrush for her home port. There was very little wind and she began to drift towards the dangerous Skirk rocks. At 10.25 P.M.

the coastguard reported that she was in a dangerous position. A fishing boat took her in tow, but the rope parted, and as it was becoming dark, it was decided to send out the motor life-boat T.B.B.H. She was launched at 10.57 P.M., and found the Escape at anchor one and a half miles E. by N. of Ramore Head. She towed her into harbour, and returned to her station at midnight.—-Rewards, £7 3*..
