ANOTHER YACHT IN PERIL Appledore, Devon.—At 8.50 in the evening of the 23rd of April, 1947, the yacht Hawk, of Southampton, which was moored in the pool, made distress signals. A strong west-north-west gale was blowing, with a very rough sea.

The motor life-boat Violet Armstrong was launched at 9.10 and found the Hawk in danger of breaking from her moorings. She helped her crew of two to unmoor the yacht and then towed her to Bideford Harbour, moored her there, and arrived back at her station at 12.40 next morning.— Rewards, £9 16s..
