Weymouth, Dorset.—-On the after- noon of the 5th of April, 1947, the small yacht Ki tiwake, with one man wi board, lost her sails in Weymouth Bay and ran on a sandbank. A strong south-west wind was blowing, with a moderately tough sea and heavy rain.

Two men put out in a motor fishing boat to the help of the yacht, but their propeller was fouled by a rope, and they too were helpless. The motor life-boat William and Clara Ryland.

was launched at 4.45, and towed in both boats, arriving at six o'clock.—- Rewards, £6. The owner of the yacht made a gift to the Institution..
