Lytham-St. Annes, Lancashire. — 10th September, 1939. Information had been received that a yacht was in difficulties on the North Bank and a small motor launch aground. Both vessels were on a lee shore, with a strong S.W.

gale blowing, and a heavy sea. Before the life-boat arrived the yacht had bumped clear over the bank and no longer needed help, and when the life-boat reached the motor boat she found that she had been abandoned.—Rewards, £9 11s..
