Wendy

Hastings, Sussex.—At 12.28 in the afternoon of the 9th of May, 1948, the Fairlight coastguard reported that a yacht had capsized three miles off Glynde Gap, and the motor life-boat Cyril and Lilian Bishop was launched at 12.43, in a moderate east-north-east breeze with a slight sea.. She found that the crew of a motor boat and the crew of another yacht, the Wendy, had righted the yacht. The motor boat had then taken her in tow, but was unable to make -any headway, so the life-boat took motor boat and yacht in tow and arrived back at her station at 2.33.— Rewards, £37 19s. 6d..
