Bembridge, Isle of Wight..—Early in the afternoon of the 22nd April, 1939, a sailing yacht was seen making towards Whitecliffe Bay with her sails damaged.

She was kept under observation by the coastguard and life-boatmen. A strong N.W. gale was blowing, with a rough sea. At 4.48 P.M. the coastguard reported the yacht to be in distress eight miles south-west from Foreland Look-out. The motor life-boat Langham was sent to her help, leaving at 5 P.M. She found the yacht Marigold, with a party of three on board, oft Dunnose Point, and took her to a safe anchorage in St. Helens Bay. The life-boat returned to her station at 8 P.M. The owner sent a letter of thanks and made a gift to the life-boat crew.—Rewards, £8..
