Peel, Isle of Man.—Shortly before six on the evening of the 9th August, 1939, information was received through the coastguard that the sailing yacht Annie Alice, of Port Erin, had been making signals for help about seven miles to the S.W. of Peel. A strong S.S.W. wind was blowing, with a rough sea. The motor life-boat Helen Sutton was launched at 6.10 P.M. and found the Annie Alice, with a crew of five, lying at anchor. Two life-boatmen were put on board and the life-boat towed her into Peel Harbour, arriving at 9.15 P.M.
