Bembridge, Isle of Wight.—At 6.45 P.M.

on the 4th July, 1938, the coastguard reported that a yacht was in difficulties near Bembridge Ledge. She cleared it, but watch was kept on her, and it was seen that she could not be got under control. A strong, squally, west breeze was blowing, with a choppy sea. The motor life-boat Langham was launchedat 8.48 P.M., and found the yacht to be the Helen, of Hamble, with a crew of four. She towed her to Sea View Bay, and returned to her station at 10.15 P.M.—Rewards, £10 11s..
