YACHT AGROUND Yarmouth, Isle of Wight.—At 5.15 in the evening of the 14th of September, 1947, the Lymington police telephoned that a yacht was in distress near Warren Beach, and the motor life-boat Hearts of Oak, on temporary duty at the station, was launched at 5.45 in a fresh south-westerly breeze and choppy sea, and found the cutter yacht Tigris, stranded at Beaulieu Spit. Her crew of four were waving flags and shouting, but they would not leave her, and asked to be towed off. A life-boatmin boarded the yacht to help in slipping the anchor cable, and the life-boat towed- her into deeper water. The yacht then set sail for Hamble and the life-boat returned to her station, arriv- ing at 8.20.—Rewards, £7 Is. 6d..
