Weston-sup&r-Mare, Somerset. — At about 6 P.M. on the 9th December, 1937, the pier-master at Clevedon informed the life-boat station that the Walton Bay coastguard had had a vessel anchored off Hook Buoy under observation since the morning of the 7th December.

She had been dragging her anchor, showed no lights at night, and only one man had been seen on board. It was decided to send out the motor life-boat Fifi and Charles, and she left at 7.30 P.M. At 8.45 P.M. she found the yacht Mystery, of Glasgow, in a dangerous position three-quarters of a mile off Clevedon Pier. On board was a man, his wife, and a baby. The man had received an injury to his right hand. Three life-boatmen went aboard and got up the anchor, and the life-boat towed the Mystery to Portishead dock, arriving at 10 P.M. The life-boat returned to her station at 12.30 A.M.—Rewards, £16 5s. 6d..
