Appledore, Devon. — At 11.33 A.M.

on the 14th August the coastguard reported that a yacht one mile N.W.

from Fairway buoy was showing flares.

She was the auxiliary yacht Wendy, of Bristol, with three people on board.

Her engine had broken down, and her crew could do nothing under sail.

A strong N.N.W. breeze was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat V.C.S. put out at 11.45 A.M., and found the yacht, about two miles N.W. by W. of the coastguard look-out at Burrows, rapidly being driven towards the shore. She towed her into Bideford, and returned to her station at 2.30 P.M.—Rewards, £6 Os. 6d..
